We have lost just one of our eight against Burnley in the EPL (W6 D2), with that one defeat in May 2010, 2-4 defeat under Harry Redknapp. We are unbeaten in our six EPL against Burnley under Poch (W4 D2), scoring 10 goals and conceding 3 in return.
Burnley are looking for their first away win against us in any competition since January 1983 (4-1 in the League Cup quarter-final. Burnley have kept a clean sheet in just 18% of their top-flight games against us (14/76). They have picked up just 6 points from their last 30 available away from home in the EPL (W1 D3 L6)
Just 33% of our EPL points this season have been won in home games (12/36) - the lowest ratio in the division. We have lost 2 of our last 5 EPL home games, as many defeats as we had in our previous 39 home in the competition (W31 D6 L2).
None of our 16 EPL games this season have ended in a draw - only Bolton Wanderers in 2011-12 (18) and Manu Utd in 2012-13 (17) have a longer run without a draw from the start of a premier league campaign.
Kane has scored 4 goals in 5 EPL appearances against Burnley, including a hat-trick in the most recent of those (3-0 in December 2017). After a run of 15 EPL games without a goal from 18 shots, Son has scored 3 goals from 16 shots in his last 4 EPL appearances for us.
