Match Preview:

Bournemouth have lost 3 of their last 5 games coming into this match and with them safe now on 42 points one could wonder what the motivation for the club would be? But there will be motivation given that this match against Tottenham is their final home game of the season and the club who have famously beaten Chelsea 4-0 here this season will want to put in a performance.

Eddie Howe’s side’s last game finished 3-3 away to Southampton and their last home match ended in a disappointing 1-0 defeat at the hands of already relegated Fulham. At home overall the club’s recent form has been very poor with 3 defeats in their last four games and no wins in almost 3 months.

Tottenham have a lot on their plate. The club lost their 1^st leg Champions League match at home to Ajax 1-0. However with the result being so close the club will fancy their chances for the 2^nd leg and surely this will be on their mind when they play this game.

However this is an important match for the club, who could, in theory seal the deal finally for a top 4 place with a win here. There is the possibility of Tottenham crashing out of the Champions League and not making the top 4, so this game must be taken incredibly seriously and yet it wouldn’t be a surprise if Mauricio Pochettino was to ring some changes.

Tottenham find themselves in pole position for a top 3 place and are 2 points clear of Chelsea. Form has dipped with 2 losses in their last 3, their latest defeat was their first at the new stadium losing against West Ham. Away from home the club have a hit a disastrous spell losing their last 5 in a row.

Tottenham: Serge Aurier, Harry Kane and Erik Lamela are in conditional training with a hope of returning at some point before the end of the season, although not all look like doing so, they will all miss this game though.
