Tottenham v Bournemouth Confirmed Line Ups: Captain Cristian Romero
Tottenham Hotspur are in Premier League action against Bournemouth and the team line ups have just been announced.
It has been yet another difficult few days following Tottenham’s 1-0 Europa League defeat to AZ Alkmaar in the round of sixteen first leg, with Ange Postecoglou no doubt having his eye on the return fixture at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday.
Postecoglou admitted in Friday’s press conference that Dominic Solanke’s injury against AZ Alkmaar had left the Spurs striker ‘sore’ after he was forced off late in the game following a collision with the goalkeeper.
Spurs have lost four of their past six matches, failing to score in three of those defeats and there is no doubt that Thursday’s match is seen as a bigger priority given the club’s lowly Premier League position.
Inconsistent performances have been a big issue for Tottenham having lost lost seven Premier League home games this season – their joint-most in a 38-game season in the competition, matching their tally in 1996-97.
What is the Tottenham team vs Bournemouth?
Tottenham are once again without Dejan Kulusevski who has an injured foot and also missed the Europa League defeat.
Richarlison and Radu Dragusin also remain sidelined through injury, however, Cristian Romero captains the side and Dominic Solanke is fit to lead the line – six changes in all.
This is who takes to the field in North London today:
Bournemouth XI: Kepa; Cook, Hill, Huijsen, Kerkez; Adams, Christie; Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier; Evanilson
Subs: Dennis, Soler, Akinmboni, Brooks, Scott, Ouattara, Sinisterra, Jebbison, Silcott-Duberry
Tottenham XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Danso, Spence; Bentancur, Bissouma, Sarr; Johnson, Solanke, Odobert
Subs: Kinsky, Udogie, van de Ven, Maddison, Gray, Bergvall, Son, Tel, Scarlett
Tottenham vs Bournemouth kicks off at 2pm GMT with the game being televised live in the UK on Sky Sports.
