Tottenham will be looking to close the gap on the top four with a win over Bournemouth at the New Tottenham Stadium this afternoon.
Jose Mourinho has made three changes from the side that beat Olympiacos in the Champions League in midweek. Jan Vertonghen is recalled to start at left-back with Danny Rose making way. Serge Aurier once again starts at right-back with Toby Alderweireld and Davinson Sanchez in the middle of the back four.
Moussa Sissoko makes his first start under Mourinho as he comes in for Lucas Moura while Tanguy Ndombele replaces Harry Winks in the middle of the park. Eric Dier keeps his place in the Tottenham midfield despite being taken off after just 27 minutes on Tuesday night.
Harry Kane once again leads the line up front for Spurs while Dele Alli and Hueng-min Son offer support in attack meaning Christian Eriksen has to settle for a place on the substitutes bench this afternoon.
Summer signing Giovani Lo Celso is also named on the bench along with Moura, Winks and Kyle Walker-Peters so Mourinho has plenty of options to call upon if needed.
Here are the confirmed line-ups:
Tottenham
Gazzaniga, Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Dier, Ndombele, Sissoko, Dele, Son, Kane
Subs: Rose, Winks, Walker-Peters, Lo Celso, Eriksen, Lucas Moura, Whiteman
Bournemouth
Ramsdale; Rico, S. Cook, Ake, Stacey; Lerma, L. Cook, Groeneveld, Fraser; Solanke, C. Wilson.
Subs: Boruc, Gosling, Harry Wilson, Simpson, Mepham, Kilkenny, Saydee
