The Cherries have already defeated Spurs once this season.
Tottenham Hotspur are all set to host Bournemouth on matchday 28 of the Premier League 2024-25 season. Both sides have not been at their best because of their inconsistent forms this season. Spurs are in the 13th place after only being able to win 10 games in 27 league matches. The Cherries on the other hand have bagged 12 wins and are in seventh place.
Tottenham Hotspur are coming in after Manchester City ended their three-match winning run in the Premier League. Spurs also lost their Europa League round of 16 first leg against AZ Alkmaar. They will be under some pressure. Ange Postecoglou’s men will be looking to come back to the winning ways here.
Bournemouth faced a defeat in their previous league game, which was against Brighton. Their aim is now to secure the Champions League spot for the next season. But for that, they cannot drop points going further. The clash against Tottenham is not going to be an easy one for the Cherries.

Players to Watch
Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur)
Son Heung-min has not been much on the scoresheet for Spurs this season. However, he has helped them set up some attacking plays. Tottenham are looking for a win here and the South Korean forward will have a big role to play. Son has assisted his teammates nine times and has been able to score six goals in 24 league games this season.
Justin Kluivert (Bournemouth)
The Dutch forward is the top goal scorer for Bournemouth in the league this season. Justin Kluivert has scored 12 goals in 26 Premier League games. He is surely going to cause discomfort to Tottenham’s defence who have not been at their best this season. Kluivert has scored one goal in the last five games for the Cherries.
