Bournemouth vs Tottenham Predictions: Predicted Tottenham Starting XI
Tottenham Hotspur’s recent defeat against West Ham United has left them in a fairly vulnerable position with just two games of the season left to play. While the injury to Harry Kane has seriously lowered their security of finalising a top-four spot, the presence of quality players like Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen should be enough to see them through the campaign.
Currently in 3rd place and ahead of place Chelsea by just 2 points, Spurs must not overcome the challenge set by Bournemouth when they travel to the Vitality Stadium for a showdown with Eddie Howe’s men. They will be looking to get back to winning ways after losing 2 of their last 3 Premier League fixtures.
Team News
The injury to Harry Kane is one that has sent shockwaves around the new Tottenham Hotspur stadium and his return isn’t expected to occur prior to the end of the season.
Harry Winks is another key player who recently underwent surgery and is also ruled out of this fixture.
Elsewhere, defenders Jan Vertonghen and Serge Aurier remain doubts for this tie, having suffered a concussion and a thigh injury respectively. Erik Lamela is another player, who is currently being assessed to match fitness but he remains a doubt as of now as well.
Predicted Tottenham Line-up
Formation: 4-3-3
Manager: Mauricio Pochettino
GK – Hugo Lloris
Will be looking to make up for the bad game he had in midweek by putting in a performance against the Cherries.
RB – Juan Foyth
The Argentine stepped into the right-back role in their Premier League defeat to West Ham last time out and should start.
CB – Toby Alderweireld
With his Belgian teammate Vertonghen out recovering from a concussion, Toby will have to be at his best.
CB – Davinson Sánchez
Was given the run-around by the Ajax players in midweek and will be looking to prove himself to the manager.
LB – Ben Davies
With a crucial 2nd leg against the Dutch side upcoming, expect Ben Davies to get another Premier League start.
CDM – Eric Dier
The Englishman is one of their most solid options in midfield and he needs to start to toughen up in that area.
CDM – Oliver Skipp
The youngster has proven his worth earlier in the campaign and the injury to Winks could mean a good opportunity.
CAM – Dele Alli
The Englishman wasn’t able to impact that game against Ajax and will be looking to change that against the Cherries.
RW – Son Heung-Min
The South-Korean has been a lone shining light in this Spurs side at times as he literally singlehandedly carried them.
ST – Vincent Janssen
The former Feyernood and AZ Alkmaar man is yet to find a place in the Spurs side but could get a rare start on the weekend.

LW – Lucas Moura
The Brazilian speedster will have to be at his best if Spurs are to strengthen their grip over the 3rd place with Chelsea lurking.
