Tottenham Hotspur are back in action on Friday evening when they play host to Burnley in the FA Cup third round.
Ange Postecoglou has witnessed his team put together a strong run in the Premier League of late, accumulating 12 points from a possible 15 over the Christmas and New Year period.
While the North Londoners sit in fifth place in the table, they have a strong desire to lift silverware in this competition, albeit having to start their campaign without a wide array of senior players.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up their latest injury and suspension news ahead of welcoming Burnley to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
