We asked our Tottenham reporters Alasdair Gold and Ryan Taylor to name the starting line-up they believe Thomas Frank could select against Bournemouth
Tottenham are unbeaten in three matches but want to return to winning ways as they make the trip to Bournemouth on Wednesday night in the Premier League.
Spurs won at Crystal Palace before draws against Brentford and Sunderland that were disappointing in different ways, the former for being simply dull and lacking in creativity and the latter for Thomas Frank's men throwing away the win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Now they travel to a Bournemouth side who might have Antoine Semenyo in their team for the final time before his expected move to Manchester City.
In a tight Premier League table, a couple of wins could lift Spurs out of the gloom and back towards the higher reaches of the table with fifth spot only four points away despite their 13th-place position.
We asked our Tottenham reporters Alasdair Gold and Ryan Taylor to name the starting line-up they reckon Frank might go for.
Alasdair Gold - Tottenham correspondent
With three games in six days, Frank needs fresh legs and while Mohammed Kudus is expected to miss out, he will have Xavi Simons back from his three-game suspension to provide some playmaker ability in the number 10 role.
The Spurs boss could also choose to completely refresh his central midfield options with Archie Gray and Rodrigo Bentancur having played a lot of football. He may decide to give Joao Palhinha and Lucas Bergvall a start in the centre of the pitch to bring fresh legs to the visitors' play.
Djed Spence will return to the team and Frank must decide whether to play Pedro Porro again or whether Ben Davies is fit enough to play twice within such a short space of time with Spence on the right. Destiny Udogie is also closing in on a return from injury.
With options limited in the attacking slots, one player will be left out, if the Dane does not go with Bergvall as the 10 and Xavi out on the left. That could be Mathys Tel, Wilson Odobert or Randal Kolo Muani, while there also has to be a point when Richarlison gets a rest.
Gold's XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Palhinha, Bergvall; Kolo Muani, Xavi, Odobert; Richarlison.

It’s a tough one to call with Mohammed Kudus out. I think it’s safe to say Djed Spence will return at left-back with Cuti Romero, Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porto making up the back four.
Archie Gray should keep his place in midfield with Joao Palhinha coming back in for Rodrigo Bentancur.
The attacking positions is where it gets slightly tricky but I’m going for Xavi Simons to return as the No.10 for Wilson Odobert, Mathys Tel keeps his place on the left with Randal Kolo Muani starting from the right.
Richarlison keeps his place as the No.9. It’s perhaps a little unorthodox with Kolo Muani playing out of position but it worked fairly well against Sunderland prior to conceding the goal.
If I had it my way, I’d probably consider switching to a back-three but Spurs fans want to see attacking football and this is a very attacking line up.
