We have met Burnley in 4 League Cup ties, and so far the score is 2-2 regarding the winners of those respective ties. The first meeting in the quarter-final January 1983 was not an auspicious one for Spurs, but a memorable one for "The Clarets" who won 4-1 to reach the semi-final for the third time. This was Burnley's last semi-final appearance. Burnley lost the semi-final to Liverpool, who beat Manchester United in that year's final. Perhaps the winners of this tie can repeat that piece of history this year!

I don't have the Burnley team for that match, but their squad did include the likes of Brian Laws (now managing Sheffield Wednesday), Mike Phelan (now on Sir Alex Ferguson's coaching staff), Willie Donachie, and a young Lee Dixon. Brian Flynn was part of the Burnley midfield. Terry Gibson scored for Spurs, but Graham Roberts scored two own goals, and Billy Hamilton scored Burnley's other two in a 4-1 win at White Hart Lane. Burnley manager Brian Miller had been relieved of his duties on this day, and Frank Casper took charge of the side. Burnley were a Division Two side when we met, and were to be relegated to Division Three at the end of that season. Burnley dropped even further and came close to losing their league status whilst in the old Division Four. What ignominy for a team that last wone the Football League Championship the year before Spurs in 1959-60.

Our next League Cup meeting was better for Spurs. In September 1993, Burnley had fought their way back to the third tier (Division Two), and played Spurs in a two-legged second round tie. The Turf Moor leg finished 0-0 in front of 16,844. Stephen Carr made his club debut in this game. Spurs won the second leg on 6th October, 1993. The score was 3-1, with Teddy Sheringham scoring two and David Howells also scoring, whilst David Eyres scored Burnley's goal. David Eyres became a veteran footballer, and played for Oldham against Spurs in our 6-0 win in September, 2004, retiring at the end of the 2005-06 season.

Our last two meetings with Burnley have both been at Turf Moor. In November, 2002 Glenn Hoddle took a slightly weakened side which included Gus Poyet (Captain), who put us in the lead in the 17th minute. Robbie Keane came off the bench at half-time, but could do nothing about the goals by Robbie Blake and Steve Davis that sent the home side through, and gave the away side and their fans a long, long trek home from the far north-west.

It was a more resilient and powerful Spurs team that got a 3-0 win in November 2004 in what was Martin Jol's first official game as head coach. Robbie Keane had everything to do with that win, scoring twice, whilst Jermain Defoe sealed the win with a cracking 25 yarder. Spurs went out in the next round, on penalties against Liverpool, who went on to lose to Chelsea in the final.

Danish goalkeeper Brian Jensen (who played in our last meeting)came to the UK in 2000, and started his English career at West Bromwich Albion. He has been with Burnley since 2003 and has played 187 league games for "The Clarets" Jensen has played full part in Burnley's fine League Cup run this season, in which they have beaten Bury, Oldham, Fulham, Chelsea and Arsenal. Burnley have lost their last two league games, but they are well placed in the Play-Off zone of the Championship, despite a poor start to their league campaign. Then coach Owen Coyle took his team on a 26 game run in which they lost only three games to climb up the table.

Top goalscorer for Burnley is Northern Ireland International Martin Paterson, who has 14 goals to his name this season, 7 of which have come in his last 10 games. Skipper Stephen Caldwell will miss tomorrow's game, due to suspension, whilst midfielders Chris McCann and Kevin MacDonald will have late fitness assessments, having missed Saturday's Cup draw at QPR.

Burnley also have Steven Thompson, who played against us for Cardiff in the FA Cup two years ago. Thompson doesn't score many goals, but is a big and powerful player who provides chances for others. Chris Eagles will relish this game and the chance to play against his former contemporary at Manchester United - Fraizer Campbell.

As for Spurs, we know that Assou-Ekotto and Jermaine Jenas will be out due to suspension. Darren Bent (if he is still a Spurs player) must be a doubt anyway because of his injury on Friday, and Ledley King ought to be held back for Sunday's important Premier League game. We may well see a similar starting line-up to that for Wigan, with Lennon coming in for O'Hara or Bentley, and Fraizer Campbell starting in Bent's place. Any new signing needs to be announced imminently to be eligible for tomorrow's game, and I suspect we will have to wait a day or two for news of Defoe's return or otherwise.

For Burnley it will be their fourth League Cup semi-final, whilst Spurs are at this stage for the 13th time. It will be important for us to get at least a two-goal lead tomorrow, and I fancy us to get it, as long as we play as we did in the second half on Friday.
