Tottenham Hotspur secured a 3-0 win against Burnley in their opening Premier League match of the season on August 16.
While they started off the league season with a victory, Spurs have eight outstanding injuries in their squad, including Dejan Kulusevski (knee injury) and James Maddison (cruciate ligament tear), who are expected to be out of action for the remainder of the year.

Frank & Co. are set to face Manchester City next in the Premier League on August 22 at Etihad Stadium and would be hoping to bag their first consecutive win of the campaign.
