Vincent Janssen has been handed a rare start for Tottenham as Mauricio Pochettino’s team travel to Turf Moor to face Burnley in the Premier League.
The Dutchman was out of action during the international break with a chest infection, but he’s recovered to start up front for Spurs. Harry Kane is still absent with an ankle problem.
Kyle Walker is rested after playing twice for England — Kieran Trippier takes his place at right-back.
Harry Winks also starts, while Mousa Dembele is on the bench. Here’s how Twitter reacted to all the team news.

Janssen starts. Genuinely hope he has a great game and gets a goal (from open play!). He needs this.

No Walker or Dembele, Janssen starting ahead of Son. Making the most out of April Fools day I see

#thfc Looks like squad rotation w/ Swansea in mind, but Burnley's home form is much better than Swansea's (29pts v 17pts from 14 home games)

#thfc Lineup makes a lot of sense. Walker, Dembele, Son played internationals & can be fresh for Wed. Trippier gets a chance vs old club.

It's easy to see why the changes, they're fresh. #COYS
