Sweet-toothed Burnley boss Sean Dyche has threatened to fine his players if they DON'T eat cake.
The Clarets host Tottenham, where new head coach Antonio Conte has imposed a strict nutrition regime to banish fizzy drinks and ketchup from the training ground.
Turf Moor chief Dyche has gone the other way by hitting his players in the pocket if they fail to make it a proper bun-fight for the squad when they celebrate their birthday.

'I brought in some different types of brownies this week from a bakery that's not too far away.

It's good for players to have a treat when it's a special occasion, as long as the time is right.'
Like Dyche, McNeil is a huge Marvel Comics fan - and marked his special day with a giant Spiderman cake from his family. 
He added: 'My missus got me a ring, and also because I'm big into my Marvel, she got me a massive Spiderman cake.

McNeil has gone more than eight months and 23 games since last finding the net, but it's a drought possibly explained by his lofty standing of fifth in Premier League tackle-charts - highlighting his work off the ball in a run that's seen the Clarets beaten just once in their last seven league outings.
He added: 'I get stick from the lads for not scoring more, especially from James Tarkowski nearly every day as he's scored more than me from defence this season.
'I just try to put myself in the best position for the team as I learn more about the game and hopefully become a more complete player.

I want to show I can do both sides of the game.'
