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.

Spurs have already defeated Man City twice this season.

Tottenham Hotspur are all set to host Manchester City in match week 27 of the Premier League 2024-25 edition. Ange Postecoglou’s men are slowly coming back to form. They are in the 12th spot now after winning 10 of their 26 league matches this season. Pep Guardiola’s men are still hanging in fourth place. They have won 13 matches in the same number of games.

Tottenham Hotspur will be at home and they will be confident to face the Cityzens. Spurs defeated them earlier this season. It was a dominating display by Ange Postecoglou’s men as they struck four goals and conceded none. Although Pep Guardiola’s men maintained a good amount of ball possession, Spurs were the better side in the end.

Manchester City are the Premier League defending champions. They won four league titles in a row but are mostly not going to get on to secure their fifth title because of their current form and competition in the league. Man City lost their last league match against Liverpool. They had a good first half but in the second half conceded a couple of goals and dropped three more points.

Players to Watch

Brennan Johnson (Tottenham Hotspur)

The English forward is coming in after scoring a brace in his previous league game for Spurs. It was a good display from Brennan Johnson. He has scored nine goals in 23 league games so far.

Leading the attack from the right, Johnson will help his side find space between Man City’s defence which is what they need here.

Jeremy Doku (Man City)

The Belgian winger made a comeback in Man City’s last league game. Jeremy Doku dropped a good performance but failed to net a goal. He created many chances as well but the Cityzens were unable to convert them into the goal.

Pep Guardiola even complimented both of his wingers and will make sure Doku starts for Man City in their next outing against Tottenham.

Match Facts

Tottenham Hotspur defeated Manchester City by a scoreline of 4-0 in their last Premier League meeting.

The Cityzens have managed to win only one of their last five games across all competitions.

Tottenham are on a two-match winning streak in the Premier League.

The Villans are all set to battle the Spurs in the FA Cup.

Aston Villa will lock horns with Tottenham Hotspur in their upcoming FA Cup 2024-25 4th-round match. The Villans defeated West Ham in their previous cup encounter. It was a close game, but Aston Villa scored a couple of goals in the second half to win the clash. Tottenham on the other hand secured an easy win over Tamworth in their third round match.

Aston Villa are in decent form and have added a couple of important players to the squad. With Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio joining in, they will be looking to step up their game. They will have an equally matched side to play against when they go up against Spurs in their upcoming fixture.

Tottenham Hotspur were knocked out of the Carabao Cup after Liverpool dominated them in the second leg. Spurs will be low on confidence as their poor run of form continues. Aston Villa are going to be a tough challenge for Ange Postecoglou’s men. But it will be interesting to see which team will outplay the other.

Kick Off:

Sunday, February 9, 11:05 PM IST; 05:35 PM GMT

Location: Villa Park, Birmingham, England

Form:

Aston Villa: D-L-D-W-L

Tottenham Hotspur: W-L-W-W-L

Players to Watch

Marcus Rashford (Aston Villa)

Having recently loaned out to Aston Villa from Manchester United, Marcus Rashford is going to play a key role for the Villans when they face Spurs next in the FA Cup. In the absence of Ollie Watkins, Rashford might lead the attack from the front. It will not be his usual position but can still lay a good amount of impact for his side.

Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur)

The South Korean winger is having a dry run. Son Heung-min stays important for the Spurs in their attacking front. Attacking from the left, Son helps his team in creating chances.

He is also good at scoring goals but at the moment he is not so much in the form. The South Korea national football team player will have to step up for Tottenham so that they will have a chance to get to the next round of the cup competition.

Match Facts

Aston Villa have just progressed from just one of their last six FA Cup fixtures against Spurs.

Tottenham have won nine of their last 10 away games against the Villans in all competitions.

Spurs have progressed from four of their last five FA Cup fourth-round ties.

Spurs are in for a treat as they face IF Elfsborg in their next UEL Clash.

Tottenham Hotspur will be hosting IF Elfsborg in their upcoming UEFA Europa League 2024-25 fixture on January 31. Spurs will be keen on securing a victory in their competition after their lacklustre performances in the Premier League. Tottenham are doing well in the UEL as they sit in the sixth spot with 14 points.

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to boss the proceedings against struggling IF Elfsborg. Spurs have bagged four victories in their seven Europa League matches which is surely going to help them to get to the next stage of the European tournament. Spurs are having a disappointing run in the Premier League. They can even find themselves in the relegation zone if they don’t fight back.

The Swedish side IF Elfsborg will be fighting hard to retain their place in the next round of the Europa League. After their modest performances last season, they ended up in the seventh spot in the Swedish League Allsvenskan. If they find themselves defeated against Spurs, then Elfsborg can forget securing a spot in the further stages of the tournament. The same will be the case if they end up in a draw.

The South Korean winger will be all ready to lead his side to a triumph over the Swedish side IF Elfsborg. Son Heung-min has scored three goals in five matches for Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League. He will be keen on engraving his name on the scoresheet against Elfsborg. Son will have a key role to play in Spurs’ final third during their upcoming UEL clash.

Simon Hedlund (IF Elfsborg)

Simon Hedlund has been involved in three-goal contributions for Elfsborg in seven UEL matches. The Swedish forward is all set to play an important role in Elfborg’s clash against Spurs in UEL. The 31-year-old will be looking to score some goals and this will be the perfect time for Simon Hedlund to step up.

Match Facts

IF Elfsborg have lost seven of their last eight away games in major European competitions.

This will be the first time that Tottenham Hotspur will be going up against Swedish opponents Elfsborg.

Spurs are undefeated in 16 home games in all European Competitions since February 2020.

The Toffees are without a win in six matches.

We have a mouthwatering Premier League clash coming up on Sunday in round 22 of the Premier League action. David Moyes, appointed to turn Everton’s fortunes is set to welcome Tottenham Hotspur at Goodison Park.

Everton are coming into this tie on the back of a narrow 1-0 loss against Aston Villa. It was David Moyes’s first game in charge of his homecoming as he witnessed his side waste some clear-cut chances to register a point. There is plenty of encouragement for him with the way his side performed in the last match. Currently languishing in 16th spot, he has a huge task going as his side are without a win in six matches.

Tottenham Hotspur on the other hand are struggling at the moment with injuries playing a part. Ange Postecoglou who has been unlucky this season will be desperate. It has been back-to-back defeats in the Premier League for them which has seen them drop to 13th in the table. However, they have done well in cup competitions as they have a first-leg lead in the EFL Cup and also got past Tamworth in round three of the FA Cup.

Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur)

Son Heung-min has been a treat to watch recently despite not being on the score sheet regularly. His last two matches for Lilywhites have seen him provide an assist against Tamworth and a goal against Arsenal in the last match. This season he has already registered 12 G/A contributions from 18 matches having registered six goals and six assists.

Expect a thrilling game of football here for a Wembley berth.

Tottenham Hotspur have a golden chance to take a comfortable lead into the second leg at Anfield. They are now set to lock horns with Liverpool in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final. This clash will take place in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with two legs deciding the ultimate first finalist of this season’s cup.

Tottenham Hotspur are going through a purple patch of form at the moment with the team without a win in their last four matches. Although they have struggled in the Premier League, their form in this season’s Carabao Cup has been impressive. The Lilywhites have eliminated both the Manchester clubs in the last rounds to make their place in the semifinal. However, they have a huge task ahead against Liverpool who are unbeaten in their previous 24 matches.

Liverpool on the other hand have impressed everyone with their performance deservedly taking the place at the top of the league. Arne Slot has done a remarkable job so far in guiding the Reds to cup competitions as they fight for the quadruple this season. However, they will be disappointed to draw against Manchester United in the last match after taking a 2-1 lead to concede in the 80th minute.

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Mohamed Salah has been in relentless form for Liverpool this season and is arguably the best player in the league in current form. This season, he has already scored 21 goals from 27 matches in all competitions and provided an astonishing 17 assists.

The Magpies have won their last three matches in a row.

Ange Postecoglou’s side face a tough task against Newcastle United at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday. The Lilywhites have struggled without their main defenders this season. Now they will be tested against strong opponents who are smashing goals regularly.

Tottenham Hotspur are going through a mess at the moment with the team making the worst possible start to a season. To make things worse, they will be now without several key defenders for this clash. Currently languishing in 11th spot in the Premier League standings, Ange Postecoglou will be feeling the pressure to change the results. However, their attacking play needs to be given credit for scoring the second-most goals in the league this season.

Newcastle United on the other hand are heading into this match in brilliant form winning four consecutive matches in a row. Their recent run of good form has seen them climb up to fifth in the table by three points. With Alexander Isak in fine form, they have all the tools to fight for the top four places. Defensive stability in recent matches has seen Eddie Howe’s side keep three clean sheets in a row.

Players to Watch

Dominic Solanke (Tottenham Hotspur)

Dominic Solanke is starting to justify his price tag delivering some eye-catching performances lately. So far, the England international has six goals to his name in the league and is one of the reasons Tottenham Hotspur have scored the second-most goals in the league. In the last four matches in all competitions, Solanke has scored four goals and will be eyeing to add another here.

Alexander Isak (Newcastle United)

Alexander Isak is coming into the tie in red-hot form having scored five goals in his last three matches for Newcastle United. The Swedish international has 12 goals this season so far while also providing another four assists. Isak has played a massive part in their recent good run of form scoring goals freely while also helping his teammates out. His poacher instinct in the opponent’s box and his off-the-ball movements have been a treat to watch this season.

Injuries have forced Los Blancos to look for a centre-back.

In an attempt to strengthen their defence, Real Madrid are considering a move for Micky van de Ven, a sensation for Tottenham Hotspur.

This summer, Los Blancos added two important players to their attack: Endrick from Palmeiras and Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain. However, the team did not add any new players to their defence.

Leny Yoro, a promising French defender, was their target, but the centre-back decided to sign with Manchester United instead.

Eder Militao joined David Alaba in hospital bed last month, adding to Carlo Ancelotti‘s team’s defensive problems. They have already given up 29 goals in 26 appearances across all competitions in the 2024–25 season. Although the Brazilian will be sidelined for the rest of the campaign due to an ACL tear, Alaba is unlikely to make a comeback before the end of January.

According to Relevo, the Spanish champions have compiled a shortlist of defenders, and Micky van de Ven of Tottenham is the top target for the team. The 23-year-old Dutch defender, who plays on the left side of the backline, is projected to succeed Militao exactly and will fit right in with the team. Josko Gvardiol of Manchester City and Croatia, and Castello Lukeba of RB Leipzig are among the other targets.

Madrid might have to hunt somewhere for a new defender because Van de Ven has a contract that expires in 2029 and Tottenham have no plans whatsoever of moving him in January.

In light of this, it would be shocking if Tottenham parted ways with any of its defenders in January since they want to expand their centre-back choices rather than reduce them.

Postecoglou eyes all three points for the Lilywhites with a win over the Wanderers.

In the heart of North London, where the grandeur of Alexandra Palace meets the bustling charm of Camden Market, the fourth clash in Matchweek 19 of the Premier League fixtures takes us to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London where Spurs are set to host Wolves.

Tottenham Hotspur have been one of the most enigmatic teams in the Premier League this season, oscillating between brilliance and inconsistency. A team capable of demolishing reigning champions Manchester City with an emphatic 4-0 victory can also falter against newly promoted sides like Ipswich Town, highlighting their unpredictable nature.

As Spurs aim to stabilize their form and rebuild momentum, Ange Postecoglou will be determined to extract consistent performances from his squad. The Australian tactician will leave no stone unturned as his team prepares to face Wolverhampton Wanderers in their upcoming clash, hoping to establish a winning rhythm and steer their campaign back on track.

Wolverhampton Wanderers, once regarded as a reliable mid-table Premier League outfit, now find themselves entrenched in the relegation zone, battling to salvage their season. With a mere 12 points from 17 matches, their campaign has been marred by defensive frailties, having conceded a staggering 40 goals, the most by any team in the league thus far.

As they prepare to face a high-scoring and dynamic Tottenham Hotspur side, the Wolves must address their defensive vulnerabilities if they are to stand any chance of climbing out of danger. This match represents a critical juncture for the Midlands club, as they desperately seek a result that could reignite their season and bring hope to their struggling campaign.

Players to watch out for:

Dejan Kulusevski (Spurs)

Dejan Kulusevski, the 24-year-old Swedish sensation hailing from Stockholm, has carved a remarkable path in European football. Having started his professional journey with Atalanta, the versatile winger garnered significant attention, which led to a high-profile move to Juventus. It was during his loan spell at Tottenham Hotspur from 2020 to 2023 that Kulusevski truly showcased his potential.

His adaptability, vision, and creative flair made him indispensable, prompting Spurs to secure him on a permanent deal. Since then, Kulusevski has emerged as a cornerstone of Tottenham’s attacking unit. Whether under the pragmatic Antonio Conte or the dynamic Ange Postecoglou, his tactical flexibility and consistent performances have solidified his status as a key figure in the North London club’s resurgence.

Matt Doherty (Wolves)

Matt Doherty, the 32-year-old fullback from Dublin, is set to make his mark for Wolverhampton Wanderers as he faces his former club, Tottenham Hotspur, in a much-anticipated reunion. A former Spurs player, Doherty made 34 appearances and netted three goals during his time with the North London outfit, where he was part of the squad that finished as EFL Cup runners-up in the 2020-21 season.

Doherty’s footballing journey began with Wolves, where he quickly established himself as a cornerstone player. Following his return to the Molineux, he has once again become an integral part of their lineup, showcasing the same tenacity and skill that earned him the Wolverhampton Wanderers Player of the Year award in the 2015-16 season.
