#3 Tottenham's Wembley hoodoo

Tottenham Hotspur v Burnley - Premier League
Hugo Lloris was beaten in the 92nd minute by Chris Wood

Last season's runners up Tottenham Hotspurs started the season brightly but their new and temporary home ground, Wembley, brought them back to earth. Spurs have played 11 games at Wembley and have never won against an English opponent since their League Cup final win against Chelsea in 2008.

Mauricio Pochettino's men were on course to change this dismal record before Burnley's new record signing, Chris Wood scored in the 2nd minute of added time to deny the hosts three points. This will cause a lot of headache to Pochettino who had converted the White Hart Lane into a fortress last season where Tottenham used their home support to win 17 of their 19 Premier League matches. In fact, Spurs had won their home fixtures against Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal!

How Tottenham handle their home games this season will be crucial if they are to mount any serious title challenge this season.
