Spurs to bounce back against Swans as Liverpool battle Burnley

Tottenham and Liverpool continue to chase the coattails of the Premier League top four, hoping to gatecrash the Champions League spots.

While Brendan Rodgers’ Reds received a boost last time out by beating Manchester City, they will now face a stubborn Burnley side battling the drop. Meanwhile, Spurs must recover from their Wembley disappointment to sink in-form Swansea City.

Tottenham v Swansea City
Spurs go into this clash holding the historical head-to-head record, having been beaten just eight times by Swansea, who have failed to slay Tottenham in their last eight attempts and lost on home turf to Mauricio Pochettino’s men earlier this term.

This fine record against their Welsh visitors makes the north London club odds-on favourites at 4/5 with Coral to take a vital three points.

Victory would be just the tonic Tottenham need after the disappointment of their Capital One Cup final defeat. Now that the league is their only route to European football for next season, back Spurs at fantastic odds of 5/2 to react and put three or more past Garry Monk’s men.

Top Tottenham stars Christian Eriksen and Harry Kane will certainly be hungry for goals after failing to lift silverware last time out.

Spurs’ enigmatic schemer Eriksen is 5/1 to continue his habit of scoring late by striking last again, while top Tottenham scorer Kane is a superb 7/2 to net first, or a fantastic price of 4/1 to bag a brace or better.

The Swans will not be an easy scalp for Spurs to steal, however, as Monk’s side have grabbed two wins on the trot, including a shock triumph against Manchester United.
