Tottenham Hotspur take on Bournemouth in their third game of the season.
Spurs have had a tremendous start to the new campaign. Thomas Frank’s men have won each of their first two fixtures, scoring five and conceding none.
That has pushed Tottenham to second in the Premier League table, just a place below Arsenal because of goal difference.
The next test for Frank and his side is against Bournemouth, and it will be a very interesting game.
Gary Neville and Ian Wright predict Tottenham vs Bournemouth result
Tottenham’s transfer business this summer has not gone to plan, but that hasn’t affected their performances in the first two games of the season.
Spurs were brilliant against Burnley on the opening day, and they were even better when they beat Manchester City 2-0 at the Etihad.
The clash against Bournemouth is a tricky one because Andoni Iraola’s side are capable of causing problems for any team in the country.
However, Ian Wright is convinced that Tottenham will emerge victorious.
He said on the Stick to Football podcast: “Tottenham at home, I’m going there. 3-1 Spurs. Is that too much?”
On the same show, Gary Neville revealed his prediction. He said: “Is this the week where we get a little shock with Bournemouth? Yeah, 1-1.”
A shocked Wright replied: “What? Not with Thomas Frank!”
Thomas Frank’s record against Bournemouth
There’s always a level of uncertainty when a new manager takes charge, and that was the case at Tottenham when Frank replaced Ange Postecoglou.
The Dane had never managed a club as big as Spurs before, but early signs show that he is the perfect man for the job.
The game against Bournemouth will be an interesting watch, but if history is anything to go by, Frank will have no fear about this game.
Frank is unbeaten against Bournemouth in the Premier League, and he will want to continue that record when the two sides meet on Saturday.
If Tottenham pick up another win, they will move to the top of the Premier League table – temporarily, at least.
