Thomas Frank has made three changes to his Tottenham Hotspur side to open the club's Premier League campaign with the visit of Burnley on Saturday afternoon.

The north London side host Scott Parker's promoted Clarets side following their penalty shoot-out defeat to PSG in the UEFA Super Cup in Udine on Wednesday night after a 2-2 draw against the Champions League winners.

Frank has had to decide how many members of that Tottenham team are ready to go again so soon after the gruelling game in Italy and indicated on Friday that many have recovered well. Spurs will need to be more dominant with the ball at home against Burnley and that means a return to a back four.

The Tottenham boss suggested that Micky van de Ven would start again and indicated it might be too early for Dominic Solanke to come into the line-up after his ankle injury and both are the case, with Solanke once again among the substitutes.

Richarlison starts again while Brennan Johnson, Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall come into the team with Rodrigo Bentancur, Joao Palhinha and Kevin Danso coming out.

Here's the team Frank has selected to face Burnley:

Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Gray, Sarr; Kudus, Bergvall, Johnson; Richarlison. Subs: Danso, Palhinha, Tel, Vuskovic, Solanke, Odobert, Bentancur, Kinsky, Davies.
