Thomas Frank has now learnt that he will face Burnley in his opening Premier League match in charge of Tottenham.
The Premier League have announced that the Lilywhites will begin their campaign at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, 16 August.
This will mark the first clash in North London with the Danish head coach in the dugout after moving from Brentford on a contract until 2028.
With plenty of transfer rumours already swirling around N17, there are several signings in the pipeline ahead of opening day against the Clarets.
Now, Tottenham News has predicted how Spurs could line up as they prepare to welcome Burnley.

This will come in the Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain, with that fixture in Udine, Italy, being scheduled just three days before the Premier League kicks off.

This could see a base duo of Pape Sarr and Archie Gray be utilised at Tottenham, with the latter likely to be a particular favourite of the former Brentford boss.
