How are the two sides form?
After a draw in the first leg against Burnley, Tottenham surprisingly lost against Crystal Palace in the weekend. Despite being in most possession during the 90 minutes, a stupid penalty and an easy goal led to the Crystal Palace victory.
While Spurs lost against Palace, Burnley took an important win against the Queens Park Rangers and brought themselves on the safe side of the relegation line.
What are the probable line ups?
Nabil Bentaleb is away on African Nations Cup duty while Ryan Mason and Erik Lamela are doubtful for the match. Burnley goes into this match without Stephen Ward and Kevin Long while Michael Duff and Jason Shackell are doubtful.
Lloris
Walker - Fazio - Vertonghen - Rose

Worth keeping an eye on
Tottenham Hotspur - Harry Kane: The 21-year old striker is a true Spurs wonderkid. Not many had expected him to have a season like this, and he can be a decisive player for Tottenham against Burnley.
Burnley - Dean Marney: The former Spurs midfielder is an important part of Burnleys midfield. Marney is a typical box-to-box midfielder and his defensive work will be important against a strong Spurs attack.
What to expect from this match?
Tottenham was the best team on the pitch at Turf Moor but had to settle with a draw. Spurs' attack is deadly at the moment, and they will be a challenge for the Burnley defends; Chadli, Eriksen, and Townsend can win this match alone. However, the first match showed that Burnley is a team that keeps fighting and with the spirit they have shown the past week, they can surprise Spurs and move on to the 4th round.
What are the odds?
Tottenham Hotspur: 1/2 (WilliamHill)
Draw: 19/5 (BETVICTOR)
Burnley FC: 7 (Bet365)
