THE LOWDOWN
TOTTENHAM
A Heung-Min Son-inspired Tottenham hit Burnley for five a fortnight ago and Ange Postecoglou's men are one of six unbeaten teams in the Premier League at this early stage of the season.
It was actually the Clarets who opened the scoring in that encounter when Lyle Foster struck after just four minutes, but it wasn't long before Son put Spurs back on an even keel. Cristiano Romero put the visitors in front just before half-time, and James Maddison extended the lead early in the second half. A quick-fire Son double completed the South Korean's hat-trick while Josh Brownhill scored Burnley's second of the game in injury-time.
SHEFFIELD UTD
Sheffield Utd picked up their first point of the campaign with a battling draw against fellow strugglers Everton before the international break.
The Blades were behind early on at Bramall Lane when Abdoulaye Doucoure put the visitors ahead, but Cameron Archer equalised with his first goal for the club since his move from Aston Villa. A Jordan Pickford own goal just before the break put Paul Heckingbottom's men in front, but a second-half equaliser from Arnaut Danjuma ensured a share of the spoils.
THE TEAM NEWS
TOTTENHAM
Ange Postecoglou reported no new injuries following the return of his players from international duty. Giovani Lo Celso has made a return to training but will not be considered for the squad just yet.
After his hat-trick in the central striker role, it seems likely that Heung-Min Son will occupy that position once more, especially as Richarlison has spoken of his need to deal with some personal issues right now.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma; Kulusevski, Maddison, Solomon; Son
UNAVAILABLE: Whiteman (Injured), Sessegnon (Injured), Bentancur (Injured), Lo Celso (Injured), Gil (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Richarlison (Personal reasons)
SHEFFIELD UTD
Heckingbotton name-checked a number of players who picked up injuries over the international break, although did not elaborate on how serious they were. If John Egan and George Baldock's issues keep them out of this fixture, then Chris Basham and Jayden Bogle could fill in at centre-back and right wing-back respectively.
Tom Davies and James McAtee are still building up their fitness and could make the squad, while Heckinbottom still has a long list of absentees to contend with.
PREDICTED XI (3-5-2): Foderingham; Ahmedhodzic, Basham, Robinson; Bogle, Souza, Norwood, Hamer, Larouci; McBurnie, Archer
UNAVAILABLE: Osborn (Injured), Lowe (Injured), Norrington-Davies (Injured), Fleck (Injured), Jebbison (Illness), Brewster (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Egan (Injured), Baldock (Injured), T. Davies (Fitness), McAtee (Fitness), Osula (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
Tottenham appear to have really found their feet under new manager Ange Postecoglou and there is a noticeable feel-good atmosphere around the club at the moment. They now host a Sheffield Utd side who are yet to keep a clean sheet in the Premier League this season, and with Heung-Min Son likely to occupy the striker role once again after his hat-trick from that position last time out, an anytime goalscorer bet on the South Korean could be worth looking at.
TIP: HEUNG-MIN SON TO SCORE ANYTIME
