Both we and Burnley could be condemned to unwanted Premier League fates should we fall to defeat in Saturday's showdown at our ground. Our wafer-thin Champions League chances were damaged further in a 4-2 beating at the hands of Liverpool last time out, while the Clarets are on the verge of the drop thanks to their 4-4 defeat to Newcastle United.
Rather than ranting and raving in the same manner that he did on the Stamford Bridge touchline during our loss to London rivals Chelsea, Ange saw a more familiar Tottenham side at Anfield at the weekend, although his words came of little comfort to our travelling fans who witnessed us ship four goals in a horror hour.
Salah, Robertson, Gakpo and Elliott all contributed to the rout before Richarlison and Son made the ending far nervier than it should have been for the hosts, but just like our North London derby loss to Arsenal, our fightback was incredibly short-lived.
Now reeling from a four-game losing run in the top flight - not since November 2004 (six defeats on the bounce) have we endured a worse sequence – we will officially be out of Champions League contention if our dismal streak stretches to five this weekend, although Aston Villa's loss to Brighton & Hove Albion means that all is not said and done just yet.
Even a perfect run against Burnley, Manchester City and Sheffield United would be rendered meaningless if Villa win just one of their final two Premier League fixtures of 2023-24, so Thursday Europa League nights are the most realistic aspirations for us as the campaign draws to a close.

Team News
A sextet of our players nursing season-ending injuries in Werner (hamstring), Davies (calf), Solomon (knee), Sessegnon (thigh), Forster (ankle) and Udogie (thigh) are still missing, but we no fresh concerns to report from their unsuccessful trip to Merseyside.
However, Royal - deputising at left-back once again - was run ragged by Salah throughout the 90 minutes and was also spotted arguing with Romero at half time, forcing Vicario to step in and drag the aggrieved Argentine away.
Postecoglou played down the fracas and has not suggested that he will be dropping Emerson any time soon, though, despite ours fans pleading for van de Ven to come in at left-back and Dragusin to earn a rare opportunity in the heart of defence
