Tottenham were strangely passive in defeat at Manchester United on Wednesday – the first bump in the road for José Mourinho. It felt as though the players were preoccupied by what United might do, rather than how they might impose themselves. Had Mourinho’s pre-match instructions been too reactive? Spurs will need greater positivity against a Burnley team who have lost five out of seven but always make life difficult. David Hytner
