Tottenham vs Bournemouth LIVE
Spurs simply need a response in front of their own fans as they welcome the Cherries to north London for another tough Premier League test. Coming days after a miserable defeat to AZ Alkmaar in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 clash, and with the second leg on the horizon, Ange Postecoglou knows pressure is mounting on his job.
Defeat today and an exit in the Europa League will surely spell the end of the Australian’s tenure, even with the likes of Djed Spence insisting the manager has the support of his squad. The face Bournemouth head to Spurs as favourites with the bookmakers is an eye-opening sign of the times. Cherries manager Andoni Iraola would be among the favourites to replace Postecoglou.
Spurs hope to be boosted by the returns of Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, but there remain doubts over Dominic Solanke’s fitness after suffering a knock in Holland.
