Can Bournemouth bring Tottenham down?

Bournemouth will be up against it for the early kick-off on Saturday. While Spurs will be without Harry Kane, they still have Son Heung-min fresh from not paying against Ajax in mid-week and Pochettino won't want to drop any points in the Premier League, even if Spurs would probably have to lose both their last two games not to finish in the top four.

Spurs were not quite at it against Ajax, Can AFCB put more misery on Spurs.

The gap to Liverpool and Man City suggests that Spurs are still two or three players away from putting up a closer title fight in England, but if they could win the Champions League, they will stat to think bigger. It may be a drop down to play AFCB after Ajax, but Pochettino may be feeling it s a good time to come to Dean Court with his side only scoring two goals in its last three league games. Spurs need to sharpen up their goals and they have he players to do it as we remember from the Boxing Day Wembley match.

Bournemouth's erratic form will have pundits predicting high goal counts for this game, but AFCB will hope that Spurs have a hiccup again or at least feel out of sorts having lost in mid-week. If Spurs click,  Bournemouth will be chasing the ball over the park.

Howe needs to get AFCB on the front foot. Only then might Spurs start to lack their usual flow. And If Bournemouth do go on to win their first game against Tottenham, then perhaps the Cherries can finally get over their nerves of playing these top six sides.
