We'll have a better idea after Wednesday night whether we actually have a title race on our hands in the Premier League but Tottenham are doing their best to make it so, even in the face of adversity. Winning 2-0 away to Burnley marked their fourth consecutive league win and it came with Eric Dier, who hadn't scored a league goal in some 18 months, breaking the ice.
Already without Harry Kane, Spurs lost both Victor Wanyama and Harry Winks, the starting tandem in central midfield, before the end of the first half. Mauricio Pochettino reacted by sending on Mousa Dembele and switching Dier from center-back into the middle of the park, renewing last season's successful Dier-Dembele partnership.
