Enhanced treble: Burnley, Spurs, Atletico Madrid a Sunday special

Tottenham v West Ham

Spurs are in great form and showed last time out against Arsenal that they are more than capable of mixing it with the big boys, suggesting that maybe the top four is the minimum they should be aiming for this term.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men are unbeaten since the opening day of the season and they have taken all three points in three of their preceding four league clashes at White Hart Lane.

West Ham have been rocked by an injury to main creative force Dimitri Payet. The France international may have avoided surgery, but is set to be absent for the rest of 2015.

With playmaker Payet contributing 35 per cent of the Hammers goal tally so far, Slaven Bilic’s squad look a little toothless as they travel to face one of the division’s best teams.

Real Betis v Atletico Madrid

Over in Spain, Atletico are starting to make a charge at the top two after a run of seven games without a loss.

Diego Simeone’s men have been superb on the road this season, losing just once and conceding just two goals on their travels.

They take on a Real Betis side that Atleti scored seven unanswered goals against the last time they were in the same division. Atletico have, in fact, found the net 14 times in five league matches with the Seville-based club .

Pepe Mel’s men have been poor at home throughout the season, with a solitary win against Real Sociedad back in September. Repeating that against their in-form opponents from the capital is a massive task, and one that will ultimately prove far too big.
