Sky Sports' Patrick Rowe:

"Heaps of space for Kadioglu to work with on the left there. One to watch if Bournemouth give him that kind of room throughout the game."

Brighton 0-0 Bournemouth

The fullback brings it under his spell before cutting in and letting fly from the edge of the area.

It's not one of his best efforts, unfortunately and Petrovic makes a comfortable stop.

Those have come in six appearances for the club and he's been involved in six of Brighton’s 11 PL goals v Bournemouth since Feb 2023.

He'll be eyeing back-to-back goals after netting against Man City last time out, for the first time since April 2025.

How do these two fare on a Monday

Brighton have won just two of their 16 Premier League games played on a Monday (D10 L4), although they did win their most recent such game, beating Liverpool 3-2 back in May last year.

Having lost each of their first four Premier League games played on a Monday, Bournemouth have since lost just one of their seven games played on this day (W3 D3), a run begun with a 2-2 draw at Brighton in January 2018. The Cherries' only Monday game so far this term saw them draw 4-4 at Old Trafford last month.

Replacing Semenyo's output

Sky Sports' William Bitibiri:

"One of Andoni Iraola's immediate tasks at Bournemouth, alongside improving their current sour patch, will be replacing Antoine Semenyo's output.

"He's contributed to 38% of Bournemouth's goals this season with 10 goals and three assists. The answer to their obvious goal gap may be Eli Junior Kroupi.

"The 19-year-old has scored seven Premier League goals for Bournemouth this season.

"Only four non-British teenagers have netted more in a single campaign – Nicolas Anelka in 1998-99 (13), Robbie Keane in 1999-00 (12), Romelu Lukaku in 2012-13 (14) and Kelechi Iheanacho in 2015-16 (8). So he'll be well up for adding to his return this evening."

Carra: Hurzeler is underappreciated

Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher:

"I think they're doing really well. I am a fan of the manager, but there is a feeling of indifference towards him.

"Think about his age, you're six points off fifth and have a game in hand.

"There is a lot to be pleased about. There are two reasons why there is not enough love for the manager. He has come after [Robert] De Zerbi and also the big thing is when a manager comes in and does well, it is expected because the structure is so good.

"When we talk about Brighton, we always talk about the owner.

"We should not forget what Hurzeler has done at such a young age in the Premier League."

Iraola: We knew Semenyo was going, it will be hard to replace him

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola speaking to Sky Sports:

"You know it is coming, we tried to play as many games as we could.

"We have to adapt. We lost a big player, it is going to be difficult to replace him but other players have to take their chances, hopefully they start that today."

Last time out in the PL: Man City 1-1 Brighton

Last time out in the PL: Bournemouth 3-2 Spurs

Hurzeler on versatility and Gross' return

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler speaking to Sky Sports:

"It is always great to have players who can play in different positions. We had to deal with a lot of illnesses for the players so we were limited.

On Pascal Gross' return: "Two perspectives. The first thing is how good he is in possession, he has an unbelievably good understanding of the game.

"The second is he is a great connector. That is very important regarding our squad."

Four Brighton changes - Mitoma starts, Baleba on the bench

Fabian Hurzeler has made four changes to the side that beat Manchester United last time out in the FA Cup.

Bart Verbruggen returns between the sticks while Lewis Dunk and Jan Paul Van Hecke replace Diego Coppola and Olivier Boscagli at the back.

Pascal Gross keeps his place alongside Hinshelwood in midfield but Rutter misses out with Kaoru Mitoma in the starting XI.

Carlos Baleba is back from AFCON duty with Cameroon and has a spot on the bench.

Adli tasked with filling Semenyo void

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has made one change to the side that beat Tottenham 3-2 in their last Premier League game, as Amine Adli comes in for Antoine Semenyo following his move to Manchester City.

Adli will be tasked with filling the void Semenyo's exit, has left on the right wing, in the first league outing without him at the club, with the likes of Evanilson, Marcus Tavernier and Eli Kroupi Jr also looking to step up.

Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has admitted that he won't be able to win over every Spurs fan after being booed during the home defeat to West Ham on Saturday.

Spurs are without a win in 2026, and pressure is beginning to mount on Frank as the Tottenham board held talks over his future following the 2-1 loss against relegation-threatened Hammers and supporters have continued to make their feelings clear in recent weeks.

Frank is set to lead a depleted team out to face Borussia Dortmund in the penultimate league phase fixture of the Champions League campaign on Tuesday night, with only 11 senior players available for selection.

Regardless, another defeat could prove to be costly for the Danish head coach, but he has backed himself to win over fans who are undecided on him.

"I think you can say, in this game, you always need to show resilience," Frank said in his pre-match press conference.

"I listened to something the other day where the three biggest things in showing resilience is one, you have good values. I see myself as a guy that has pretty good values.

"Two, you know reality - and reality is that one in five normally don't like you, no matter what you do. One in five love you, no matter what you do. Then there's the three in five that, if you behave well, are respectful, show integrity, do your best, normally they are swayed.

"So, no matter what you do, the reality is someone will not like you.

"The last bit, have perspective in life, which I have in abundance.

"I keep doing what I do, what I believe in.

"If your back is against the wall, you fight and that's what I do. I'm energetic, I fight.

"It's about keeping the noise out, staying calm, carrying on. Look at the performances, look if the players are still running, running hard.

"In the last three games where we are down at half-time, how they come out and respond is a massive thing. They responded fantastic and we should've got more out of it.

"Sometimes, it's just football. That happens when you are in that spell.

"Are you still working hard? Are you still trying hard? Are you still believing? I see signs of that very clearly in every game.

"Then, of course, even the best coach in the world - Pep Guardiola - says I'm nothing without my players. I'm nothing without the best players available - and I think it's fair to say, they haven't been available enough at the same time.

"That makes it a little bit more tricky, but no problem. I'm happy to take the blame, as long as everyone supports the players."

Frank 'feeling the trust' from Spurs hierarchy

Despite the increased speculation surrounding his future, Frank is adamant that he retains backing from the powers that be, claiming to have felt 'the trust' in recent conversations with those at the club.

"I've just been feeling the trust along the way. I've said that every press meeting, that there's backing and support," he said.

"I had lunch with Nick [Beucher] and Vinai [Venkatesham] and Johan [Lange] today, so all good.

"I know it's part of the media circus and the only focus I have is to do everything I can for us to win tomorrow against Dortmund.

"I've said many times and I'll say it again, as long as we win football matches and make sure we win enough of them, then everyone will support us.

"It's not about me, it's about supporting the team, supporting the players."

Solanke to replace Tel in Champions League squad

One player who Frank will be hoping helps turn things around against Dortmund is Dominic Solanke, who he confirmed has returned to the Spurs Champions League squad in place of Mathys Tel.

Article 31.14 c of UEFA's rules and regulations state that a team can bring in a squad substitute if a player has been ill or injured for 60 days.

Tel replaced Solanke in the squad for the game against Slavia Prague in December, but per UEFA rules, Solanke can now return to the squad in place of Tel, but no other Spurs player.

Speaking about the situation on Monday afternoon, Frank said: "I made the decision. That was not a nice decision to have to make. Unfortunately, that's football, so you have to make the decision.

"The way the rules are, the only option was it was either Dom or Mathys in the squad and I chose Dom.

"I think Mathys has done very well in the last couple of games and that's the crazy thing; if I could pick from all the players that are fit, he would start tomorrow.

"But I could only chose between the two of them and now he is out of the squad, so that's a tough one to take for Mathys.

"When it rains, it pours."

Thomas Frank is expected to remain in charge of Tottenham for their Champions League fixture against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night.

Frank is set to take his pre-match press conference on Monday as normal ahead of their penultimate league phase match.

Sky Sports News reported on Sunday that Frank is under increasing pressure to keep his job and the Spurs hierarchy are believed to be looking at alternative options after board-level talks following the defeat at home to West Ham on Saturday.

No final decision has yet been made and the long-term plan has always been for Frank to lead the team through a difficult, transitional period for the club.

Saturday's defeat reached new levels of toxicity at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with reports of fans clashing with each other outside the ground, while a video has surfaced on social media of a fan approaching co-owner Vivienne Lewis in the hospitality section and making their feelings known regarding Frank's future.

Unlike the vast majority of managers who have lost their jobs this season, Frank has tried to remain positive, appreciative of this being a difficult period for the club.

He described his job as trying to turn around a "super-tanker" and that it was starting to go in the right direction. But that did not show in Saturday's result to relegation-threatened rivals West Ham, who ended a 10-game winless league run.

Not all of the blame can be levelled at Frank. The club is in a transitional phase following the post-Daniel Levy era in which new captains are steering the ship and new staff are still finding their feet in multiple areas.

Either way, though, this feels like an important moment at Tottenham and they will carefully consider the next steps ahead of Tuesday's Champions League home game against Borussia Dortmund.

Booed off and sacked chants from own fans - but Frank defiant

Under-pressure Frank remained defiant despite being loudly booed off by his own fans, who chanted 'you're getting sacked in the morning' at him following the 2-1 home defeat to West Ham.

Callum Wilson's last-gasp winner sparked toxic scenes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as the South Stand called for the Dane to go after a run of eight defeats in 14 matches.

On Sunday morning, Spurs chief executive Vinai Venkatesham arrived at the training ground along with Frank and the players.

At his post-match press conference, Frank said of the boos and chants: "Of course, I probably have had better times. I understand - I'm the man in charge, so the blame will go to me. That's fair, no problem in that sense.

"As long as they are backing the players, doing everything they can to support them and drive them forward, and we will keep going forward."

Frank was surprisingly upbeat in his post-match press conference, likening his job to turning a "super tanker" around with Spurs sitting 14th in the table, 10 points above the drop zone.

Ahead of kick-off, Venkatesham released an open letter in the matchday programme which addressed several issues, including the relationship with the fans and player trading.

"I've seen the letter," Frank said, "and I took six to eight positive things out of the letter, not the negative things.

"What I take out of that letter is that a club, an executive team with Vinai on top, that are aligned and know that this is a big transition phase and it's a super tanker, we're turning in the right direction.

"And there's a lot of good signs behind the scenes, also in some of the performances.

"But of course, when you lose last minute to one of your rivals, it's very emotional in football, and there'll be noise.

"And that noise we need to keep out there and get [our] head down and keep walking, keep doing the right thing."

Frank also faced questions over team leaks on Friday, but he insisted he was not worried.

The Dane also believes his side are "close to something very good" despite a winless start to 2026.

Asked why he deserved more time, Frank replied: "If you're not winning enough, we know that you're not getting enough support from the fans.

"But when we're winning, it will change when we start winning again, which we will do. Not in doubt of that. I also think you can look a little bit at the performances.

"Let's say Bournemouth and Villa and this game here, if the players stop running or stop doing anything or not working hard, and we were not the team that was closest to winning, then you can say, okay. But I think the team is working very hard.

"And I still think, and I know it sounds a little bit crazy, that we're close to something very good than further away.

He added: "I can promise that I'm sitting here and giving everything every single day.

"I feel the trust from everyone and there's only one way, and it's to keep going."

How Sky Sports reported on the Tottenham fans' response to Frank

Sky Sports' Oliver Yew at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium:

After West Ham scored late on: "The home fans are singing 'sacked in the morning' towards Thomas Frank, those of them that are left in their seats. There's a mass exodus at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as the West Ham fans celebrate."

At full time: "The boos die down before restarting again. The fans filing out by the press box are making their feelings known as well.

"Frank then makes his way to the tunnel, applauding as he goes. He's booed again and there's another chorus of 'sacked in the morning'. I don't think I've ever seen anything like that before."

The Tottenham board have not made a final decision about the future of head coach Thomas Frank but are looking at alternative options.

Talks are believed to have taken place at board level about whether Frank should continue after Saturday's 2-1 home defeat by West Ham.

The hierarchy are taking their time to make a decision, while considering potential short-term successors in the event Frank does depart.

The 52-year-old is expected to hold his press conference on Monday ahead of the Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday, as things stand.
