Tottenham are back in Premier League action this afternoon as they welcome Bournemouth to north London. Spurs are riding a wave of momentum at the start of the season with players and supporters alike already buying into new head coach Thomas Frank.
Boosted by last weekend’s impressive 2-0 win over Manchester City away from home, the incentive for Tottenham today is a third straight league win could see them top the table heading into the first international break of the campaign. However, they will be wary of a Cherries side who despite losing some key players in the summer transfer window, do have a decent recent record in this fixture and are more than capable of springing a surprise.
New Tottenham recruit Xavi Simons, unfortunately, has not been signed in time to make his debut this afternoon but Spurs are planning to present the £51million arrival from RB Leipzig to supporters before kick-off.
