Frank says Spurs are supporting Tel and expects a huge reception for the 20-year-old in Saturday's Premier League opener against Burnley.

Thomas Frank urged Tottenham fans to back Mathys Tel in Saturday's Premier League opener against Burnley after the French forward was racially abused this week.

Here's the Tottenham Hotspur team that we reckon Thomas Frank will select to face Burnley in the Premier League opener

Tottenham Hotspur faced a disheartening loss against Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup final on August 13. After being tied 2-2 at the blow of the final whistle, the match went straight to a penalty shootout, where the French side bagged a 4-3 victory over Spurs.

Thomas Frank toasted the perfect start to life at Tottenham in the Premier League after a 3-0 win over Burnley, but joked Richarlison already had their goal of the season. Frank’s managerial debut for Spurs on Wednesday almost ended with silverware, but Paris St Germain fought back from two down late on to clinch Super Cup success on penalties.

Frank used a 4-2-3-1 formation but, surprisingly, Lucas Bergvall was the most advanced midfielder. He pressed Burnley’s defence along with Richarlison and went on a couple of impressive driving runs with the ball. Throughout pre-season, Pape Matar Sarr tended to be the most advanced midfielder.

The Thomas Frank era began to the great delight of Tottenham Hotspur fans on Saturday, as last season's Europa League winners cruised past newly promoted Burnley 3-0 in north London.
