Tottenham Hotspur will face off against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday afternoon as they look to secure maximum points on the road. Spurs were held to a 1-1 draw by Sporting CP recently, so they will be eager to get back to winning ways versus the Cherries this weekend.
Antonio Conte will probably opt for a 3-5-2 formation and is expected to make a few changes to his starting XI for this game. Yves Bissouma, Clement Lenglet and Ryan Sessegnon could all get a chance to play from the start in this Premier League clash away from home.
3-5-2 Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Lineup To Face Bournemouth
Defence
Hugo Lloris will operate in between the sticks for the London club after shipping in one goal versus Sporting in his last outing. Conte could name a back three of Cristian Romero, Eric Dier and Clement Lenglet for this clash as they try to keep a clean sheet during the 90 minutes. All three Tottenham centre-backs need to avoid getting complacent and focus on producing a solid display collectively this weekend.
Ben Davies will provide cover for the defensive positions on the Tottenham bench.
Midfield
Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur will anchor the midfield for the North London club as they look to dominate the 50-50 battles at the centre of the park.
Ryan Sessegnon will hope to give a good account of himself on the left flank while Emerson Royal fills in on the other flank as the right-sided wing-back. Conte will ask both of them to be adventurous with their runs in the Bournemouth half so that Spurs can create enough chances from the wide areas.
Oliver Skipp and Ivan Perisic will be available for selection on the bench as they hope to shine as the impact substitutes if required.
Attack
Harry Kane could once again get a chance to lead the line alongside Heung-min Son on the attacking end of the pitch. Both Tottenham forwards would be eager to get their names on the scoresheet after shooting blanks versus Sporting recently.
Kane will carry most of the goal-scoring workload on his own while Son would be the one looking to engineer some meaningful openings in and around the opponent’s penalty area.
Lucas Moura will have to settle for a spot on the bench but might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if Spurs are in need of a goal by then.
