Three changes to the team that started against Everton on Monday. Jan Vertonghen is in for suspended Eric Dier, and makes his first start since the Premier League's return - he is reunited with Toby Alderweireld in central defence. Meanwhile, Erik Lamela and Steven Bergwijn come in for Lucas and Heung-Min Son, who are both on the bench.
REFEREE: ------------ Paul Tierney ???????
TEAM FORM: ------- Bournemouth LLLLL ----- Spurs LDWLW --- (All Competitions)
Bournemouth (BM) have lost seven of their nine Premier League (PL) meetings with us (W1 D1), though that one victory did come in this exact fixture last season courtesy of Nathan Ake's 90th minute and we playing with 9 players (Foyth and Son red cards). They have lost seven of their last eight PL games, including each of their last five in a row. They have shipped 21 goals in these eight games, netting just seven.
BM have conceded 59 PL goals this season and could become the first side to concede at least 60 in five consecutive campaigns in the competition. They have lost 20 PL games this season, more than they have in any of their five campaigns in the comptetition. Seven of these defeats have been at home, the Cherries only losing more at the Vitality Stadium in their debut Season in the competition in 205-16 (9).
Bournemouth's Josh King - who scored and assisted for BM last time out against Man Utd - is looking to score consecutive PL games for the first time since January 2019.
We won 3-2 in the reverse fixture, conceding as many goals in that game as we had in our previous seven combined in the PL against Bournemouth. We have picked up just 15 points from our 16 PL games on the road this season (W3 D6 L7), with only Aston Villa (0) keeping fewer clean sheets on the road than us (1). Having been unbeaten in our first twelve PL games played on Thursdays (W7 D5), we lost our last such match, going down 1-3 against Sheffield United last week.
Jose Mourinho has never lost a PL away game against a side starting the day in the relegation zone, with him winning 18 and drawing 6 of his 24 such matches. Harry Kane has scored 7 goals in 7 PL games against BM, though 6 of these came in first three appearances against them.
