Writing on the BBC Sport website for his 'Premier League predictions' piece, Lawro tipped Spurs to pick up a 2-0 win against Sean Dyche's side.

Justifying his decision, the former Liverpool star wrote: "Burnley are another team to have hit the buffers a bit, suffering back-to-back home defeats against Crystal Palace and Manchester City.

"Tottenham did not really get going at Old Trafford in midweek, but I am expecting them to be far better this time. If so, they should win pretty comfortably."

Mirroring Lawrenson, Andy Murray - his prediction opponent for the week - also went for a 2-0 victory for Jose Mourinho's men.

The Clarets haven't won away to Spurs in the league since 1974, and will certainly need to be at their best to secure a solid result against the resurgent North London side this weekend.
