Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has told Sky Sports News that Eric Dier is almost certain to play against Burnley on Saturday despite his confrontation with a fan after the Norwich game in midweek.

"I don't think there is any reason for him not to be in the right frame of mind," said Mourinho.

"He played two fantastic matches. He played in a back three against Wolves and a back four against Norwich. He showed me things I couldn't probably imagine if I had taken over in July.

"I know already what he can do in these positions, so this is crucial information for me.

"He played so, so well. What happened (after the Norwich game) was clear, almost nothing happened so I think he is ready.

"Because he is one of these players that was not playing (much before I arrived) so he has to play tomorrow."
