Two of the Premier League’s most-in form teams will meet on Sunday when Tottenham host Bournemouth at White Hart Lane.
Team news
Tottenham will assess Eric Dier and Ben Davies after they suffered injuries in Thursday’s Europa League defeat to Borussia Dortmund, but Harry Kane, Christian Eriksen, Mousa Dembele and Kyle Walker are all available after being rested for that game.
Bournemouth midfielder Harry Arter faces a late fitness test on an Achilles problem ahead of the game, while Junior Stanislas is still sidelined having missed the past three matches because of a hamstring injury.
Callum Wilson is not expected to be back in contention until after the international break.
Kick-off at White Hart Lane on Sunday is at 4pm.
