Following the sudden end to their three-game winning streak, Tottenham Hotspur are set to welcome the in-form Bournemouth on New Year’s Eve. While Spurs recently fell to a 4-2 defeat by Brighton, Bournemouth secured their sixth victory out of seven on Boxing Day, further propelling their impressive climb up the Premier League standings.
4-2-3-1 Tottenham Hotspur Predicted XI Vs Bournemouth
Defence
Guglielmo Vicario will continue to operate in goal for Spurs after conceding four goals in his last Premier League outing. Emerson Royal will play alongside Ben Davies at the heart of Tottenham’s backline as they look to keep the Bournemouth forwards at bay during the game.
Pedro Porro will be a nailed-on starter at right-back while Destiny Udogie hopes to catch the eye on the other flank as the left-back. Postecoglu will ask both of them to keep things solid at the back and get forward to create opportunities in the front.
Midfield
Oliver Skipp and Pape Matar Sarr will operate in the middle of the park as they look to make life tough for the opposition at the centre of the park.
Heung-Min Son will try to work his magic from the left while Brennan Johnson gives a good account of himself from the right-flank. Dejan Kulusevski will play as the advanced attacking midfielder and will try to create as many chances as possible to win this game against the Cherries.
Pierre Emile-Hojbjerg and Giovani Lo Celso will have to take a spot on the bench and wait for their chance to impress in the second half in needed.
Attack
Richarlison will lead the charge for the North London club as he looks to get his name on the scoresheet in this home encounter.
Tottenham’s injury list stubbornly refuses to shorten, and Ange Postecoglou will be without a host of senior players again.
