Tottenham Hotspur will look to keep themselves in the race for a top-four finish as they host Bournemouth on Saturday.
Brighton & Hove Albion were expected to do a number on Spurs last weekend when they visited the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. However, the Seagulls couldn't translate their dominance into a positive result as goals from Harry Kane and Son Heung-min helped Cristian Stellini's men take all three points.
Despite their vulnerabilities, the Lilywhites have been formidable on home turf. Only Arsenal and Manchester City have won more games on home soil this season and Spurs will look to bank on the same as they prepare to play hosts to the Cherries on Saturday.
Trending
Spurs are currently fifth in the Premier League table, three points behind Manchester United and Newcastle United, who have both played a game lesser than them.
Their Saturday opponents Bournemouth are 15th in the table but have shown their ability to spring a few surprises of late. They have won three of their last five games. This includes victories over Liverpool and Fulham at the Vitality Stadium.
They beat Leicester City 1-0 last weekend to install a three-point gap between themselves and the drop zone. Gary O'Neil's team are far from being out of trouble though and a loss against Spurs could put them right back in the heat of the relegation battle.
