Bournemouth won three of their last five Premier League matches. Those wins have the Cherries outside the relegation zone.
Three points currently separate Bournemouth from the bottom three.
A loss to Spurs and results going against them elsewhere could see the Cherries fall back into the bottom three.
Bournemouth are coming off a shock 1-0 away win against Leicester City. Gary O’Neil will hope the team can continue picking up points in the race for survival.
Tottenham defeated Bournemouth 3-2 in the reverse fixture. Bournemouth took a shock 2-0 lead in the opening 49 minutes thanks to two goals from Kieffer Moore.
Spurs came back to win the match thanks to second-half goals from Ryan Sessegnon, Ben Davies, and Rodrigo Bentancur.
Bentancur’s winning goal was scored in the first minute of second-half stoppage time.
Bournemouth took nine points from the last 15 points on offer in the league. They kept two clean sheets in those three wins.
Bournemouth are not a good road team and have a record away from home of 3W-2D-10L.
Tottenham took 11 points from the last 18 points on offer in the Premier League. Spurs scored 11 goals but conceded seven times.
Tottenham are a strong home side. They won each of their last five matches played at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
O’Neil could be without Marcos Sensei due to a thigh injury. Hamed Traore could also miss the match after suffering an ankle injury.
Ryan Fredericks and Junior Stanislas are both ruled out for Bournemouth.
Spurs’ interim manager Cristian Stellini could be without at least six first-team players. Emerson has a knee injury, and Lucas Mora is suspended.
