Bournemouth have won only two of their last 14 encounters with Tottenham, with Spurs seeking a third successive victory at the Vitality Stadium.
Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur Preview
Can Tottenham Hotspur finally start to find some consistency? Following on from their momentous mauling of Manchester City, Spurs were then held to an uninspiring 1-1 draw by Fulham on Sunday, taking the lead through Brennan Johnson, but conceding soon after. As a result, Ange Postecoglou's team have still only won back-to-back Premier League games once all season, doing so back in September, with this lack of consistency holding the Lilywhites back, hence why they start the week down in seventh. Still to come before Christmas, Tottenham will welcome both fierce rivals Chelsea and then league-leaders Liverpool to N17, so now would be a good time for Spurs to build some momentum.
That though will not be easy, considering Bournemouth would leapfrog their visitors with a victory, having already beaten both Arsenal and Manchester City at Dean Court this season. On Saturday, the Cherries enjoyed a 4-2 victory over Wolves, in which Justin Kluivert scored a hat-trick of penalties at Molineux, only the fourth player in English top-flight history to achieve this rare feat and the first since 1957. More importantly, this was a first away win since August for Andoni Iraola's side, with the Cherries now seeking another statement win in Dorset.

Bournemouth Team News
Antoine Semenyo can return, having served his one-match ban at the weekend, likely to displace David Brooks, after the Wales international had been included in a Premier League XI for the first time since October last year. Julián Araujo and Alex Scott are sidelined long-term, while Marcos Senesi, Lewis Cook and Justin Kluivert would all miss Sunday's visit to Ipswich if cautioned.
Bournemouth predicted lineup vs Tottenham Hotspur: (4-2-3-1): Arrizabalaga; Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Adams, Christie, Tavernier, Semenyo, Kluivert; Evanilson.
Bournemouth Players to Watch vs Tottenham Hotspur
Under-fire Kepa Arrizabalaga will start a fourth successive Premier League match in goal, with Andoni Iraola continuing to show faith in his fellow Spaniard; only five goalkeepers have a lower save % than the Chelsea loanee this season.
Tottenham Hotspur Team News
Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario as well as first-choice centre-backs Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero remain sidelined, as are Mikey Moore, Wilson Odobert and Richarlison. Meantime, Rodrigo Bentancur remains banned in domestic competitions until Boxing Day. In terms of those who will actually feature, Dejan Kuluševski was surprisingly left on the bench on Sunday, set to surely return to the lineup here, but will he do so alongside James Maddison or in place of him? Former Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke missed the draw with Fulham due to illness, but should be back in time for this one, allowing Son Heung-min to return to his more natural wide position.
Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup vs Bournemouth: (4-3-3): Forster; Porro, Drăgușin, Davies, Udogie; Bissouma, Maddison, Kuluševski, Johnson, Son Heung-min; Solanke.
Tottenham Hotspur Player to Watch vs Bournemouth
Brennan Johnson bagged his tenth goal of the campaign already at the weekend, so will the Welshman continue his hot-streak?
Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction
We are backing Tottenham for a narrow victory in Dorset. Spurs were alternating between winning and losing prior to Sunday's stalemate, but the sequence suggests they're due a victory. In all seriousness, Spurs' attacking talent will likely to see them collect all three points, albeit Bournemouth have proved themselves to be a match for anyone: Bournemouth 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur.
