The Premier League returns this weekend after a week off last time around allowing for the FA Cup 5th round.

There are some big games at both ends of the table, too, with Manchester United v Liverpool the obvious headline act on Sunday afternoon.

There are other important matches going on too, though, and one of them sees Tottenham and Burnley battle it out with their interests at either end of the league.

Spurs, of course, will be looking to reel in Liverpool and Manchester City whilst the Clarets remain looking over their shoulders in the battle against relegation.

A significant tie, then, and it remains to be seen whether Harry Kane is going to feature after Mauricio Pochettino spoke to the press earlier today ahead of the game.

The striker has been missing for a few weeks after getting injured at the end of the match with Manchester United, but a return seems to be nearing.

Pochettino said:

“It is still not decided, for him he wants to play from the beginning, I like when the player thinks like this, that they can play every single game and always feel fit to play. But it is our responsibility to always manage them in the best way. That doesn’t mean he isn’t going to start to game, maybe he starts or maybe not. We need to have another conversation with the coaching staff and then make the decision.”
