Tottenham Hotspur are seeking back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since April as they look to climb into the top six.

AFC Bournemouth, who sit one place and one point behind 10th-placed Spurs, could leapfrog Jose Mourinho's men and move into the top half of the table with a victory.

Team news

Spurs have a quartet of players unavailable, but head coach Mourinho reports no fresh injury concerns following the midweek UEFA Champions League win over Olympiacos.

Ben Davies sustained an ankle injury at West Ham last weekend, joining Erik Lamela (hamstring), Hugo Lloris (elbow) and Michel Vorm (calf) on the sidelines.

AFC Bournemouth striker Joshua King is ruled out with a hamstring injury, while Simon Francis and Philip Billing both serve a one-match suspension.

Ryan Fraser (dead leg) and Dominic Solanke (hamstring) are expected to be fit, but David Brooks (ankle) continues his rehabilitation.

Did you know?

Spurs have won all four of their Premier League home encounters against AFC Bournemouth by an aggregate score of 13-0. 

Harry Kane has scored seven goals in his six Premier League matches against the Cherries, though six of those strikes for Spurs came in his first three meetings. 

Eight of AFC Bournemouth’s 16 Premier League goals this season have come from set-piece situations (excluding penalties), the highest number and highest ratio (50 per cent) in the division.

AFC Bournemouth’s Ryan Fraser has provided more assists than any other player in the Premier League, with 17, since the start of last season.
