The Premier League match between Bournemouth and Tottenham Hotspur, scheduled for December 5, 2024, at the Vitality Stadium, presents an intriguing clash of teams with contrasting recent performances. Bournemouth enters the match buoyed by a resounding 4-2 victory over Wolves, showcasing their attacking prowess . This win has positioned them in a critical spot within the league standings, where a victory against Tottenham could elevate them above their opponents . Conversely, Tottenham seeks to recover from two consecutive draws following an impressive win against Manchester City. Their current form raises questions about their consistency and ability to secure points on the road.
The Cherries will be on cloud nine after an emphatic 4-2 win over Wolves in the last game that broke the streak of their back-to-back losses. It might also bring to light their inconsistent form this season where they just can't seem to build on the momentum and turn one victory into a run.
Meanwhile, Spurs haven't been a lot different than Bournemouth in the last 5 games. Both the clubs have 2 wins, 2 draws, and a loss. With a draw against Fulham in the last game the Lillywhite players will not be running high on confidence ahead of the MD 14 game.
The hosts could welcome back both Lewis Cook and Antoine Semenyo following their win over Wolves. Julian Araujo, Luis Sinisterra and Alex Scott are all injured.
Spurs hope to have former Cherries star Dominic Solanke available after the striker missed the Fulham game due to illness. The England international is due to return to training on Wednesday, though the game will come too soon for defender Cristian Romero.
Micky van de Ven, Richarlison, Guglielmo Vicario and Wilson Odobert are expected to miss out.
Bournemouth possible starting lineup: Kepa; Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Adams, Christie; Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier; Evanilson
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Forster; Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Udogie; Kulusevski, Bissouma, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Son
In terms of team news, both squads face injury challenges that may influence their lineups. Bournemouth hopes to welcome back key players such as Lewis Cook and Antoine Semenyo; however, they will still be missing Julian Araujo and Luis Sinisterra . On the other hand, Spurs will contend with absences including Guglielmo Vicario and Micky van de Ven . These factors could significantly impact the tactical approaches of both teams during this crucial encounter.
