Clarke Carlisle (right) chases Spurs' Luka Modric 27 mins: Spurs win a free kick on the left wing after a Robbie Blake foul. Stroked forward but easily gathered up by Jensen. 22 mins: Little chip from Wade Elliott sales over the Spurs bar. Nothing to show for their shots for Burnley - yet. Camera pans ex-Clarets hero Mike Phelan in the stands. Blast from the past. Could do with one of his a trademark dippers out here. 20 mins: YELLOW CARD - David Bentley clatters in and is lucky not to be off for that to be fair. Two footed off the ground - but that's showbusiness. Straight after a terrific left-footed strike from Burnley's Chris McCann just skims past Ben Alnick's post. 16 mins: Burnley's 37-year-old Graham Alexander looking busy. Those lungs must be hurting the old boy, no? Zakora seeing a lot of the ball in midfiels and Spurs look content to sit on the ball and not do too much with it. Oooh, Modric glances a header wide from a right win cross. 12 mins: Burnley trying to get things going down the left wing. Tackling's good from the Lilywhites. They're spreading it round and look good for their 100-1 on odds for easing through tonight. David Bentley is challenged by Chris McCann (right) and Stephen Jordan at Turf Moor 10 mins: Rain still bucketing down. Burnley trying a bit of Crazy gang tactics and hoofing it long to the Spurs goal. Good luck to 'em. Dawson Woodgate et al not looking too stressed. 6 mins: Oooh, Defoe tries one at the other end which fizzes on the surface but parried to safety by keeper Brian Jensen. We've gotta cup tie at Turf Moor. Still no goals. 5 mins: What a save Madness from Assou-Ekotto - tries chipped back-pass from 25 yards. Terrific fingertip save from Alnick in the Spurs goal turns it round the post. Corner comes to nowt. 3 mins: Alnick slides in to action to scoop up a Chris Eagles cross. Newbie does well - could be down to his Henry-esque tights. Kick-off: Ball skidding off the surface immediately. Spurs playing a bit of keep-ball in the middle. The crowd giving it the old melodic 'Burnley Burnley Burnley Burnley' Nothing of note of yet. It's raining cats and dogs out there. First start for Spurs 22-year-old goalie Ben Alnick - interesting Here are the teams... Burnley: Jensen, Alexander, Duff, Carlisle, Jordan, Elliott, Eagles, Gudjonsson, McCann, Blake, Paterson.
