Cristian Romero partners Micky van de Ven in the middle of Tottenham’s back four while Djed Spence comes in to replace Ben Davies at left-back having been named on the bench on Sunday.

As for Bournemouth, they’ll be looking to bounce back from their 3-2 defeat to leaders Arsenal on Saturday. Antoine Semenyo starts once again despite reports suggesting he’s close to joining Man City. Eli Junior Kroupi is recalled after scoring a fine goal off the bench at the weekend.
