Tottenham will look to bounce back from their loss at the weekend

Burnley host Tottenham at Turf Moor in round four of the EFL Cup on Wednesday, with both sides having disappointing seasons so far.

Burnley have been woeful this season, having yet to win a game in the Premier League. Sean Dyche's side beat Rochdale 4-1 in the previous round of the competition and will hope to replicate their performance against Tottenham on Wednesday.

Despite their strong start to the season, Tottenham have faltered of late. Nuno Espirito Santo's side have lost their last two games on the trot and will hope to bounce back with a win against a poor Burnley side on Wednesday.

Both sides will be looking to pick up a victory and progress to the next round of the competition, and that should make Wednesday's fixture an interesting matchup.


Burnley vs Tottenham Head-to-Head

Tottenham have dominated the recent head-to-head record between the two sides, having won three of their last five meetings, with Burnley winning only one.

Tottenham demolished Burnley 4-0 the last time the two sides met back in February. A brace from Gareth Bale, along with goals from Harry Kane and Lucas Moura, secured the win on the night.
