Bournemouth – Tottenham

Bournemouth host Tottenham in what promises to be a pivotal clash for both sides as they battle to climb out of the lower reaches of the table. The Cherries sit 15th with three points from four games – three draws and a loss, and a narrow –1 goal difference after conceding seven while scoring six. Tottenham, meanwhile, languish in 17th place with just two points, having failed to find the net in four matches and sitting on a –5 goal deficit. With Bournemouth needing a win to distance themselves from the relegation zone and Spurs desperate for their first goal of the season, the encounter could turn the tide for either campaign. Both teams will be eager to convert the string of stalemates into decisive results and lift themselves away from the bottom three.
