Tottenham Hotspur vs AFC Bournemouth
English Premier League, KO: 15:00 Apr 15, 2023, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Tottenham Hotspur continue their push for a top four finish as they host Bournemouth in a Premier League fixture on Saturday.
Spurs showed they still have some fight even without a permanent manager as they claimed a 2-1 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion last time out in the Premier League. Goals in each half from Son Heung-Min and Harry Kane proved to be the difference in a game filled with refereeing controversies.
That was a much needed result for Spurs as it put them back in the mix for a top four finish. Christian Stellini's men are now three points behind Newcastle United and Manchester United, although they have played a game more than both teams.
Despite their erratic showings this season, Tottenham Hotspur have remained solid in front of their fans. They have won their last five Premier League home matches, with victories over Manchester City, Chelsea and Brighton in that run.
Bournemouth were also victorious in their previous Premier League fixture as they earned a 1-0 win at Leicester City. Philip Billing was once again the difference as they held on to his early strike to see out the win.
The Cherries have been putting together results like this in recent weeks as they look to keep their head above the relegation zone. They have won three of their last five matches and are currently 15th on the table, three points clear of the bottom three.
Although they won at Leicester City last time out, Bournemouth’s record on their travels this season had been disappointing. Gary O’Neil’s men travel to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with eight defeats in their last 10 Premier League away matches.

Players to watch
