Tottenham Hotspur will look to return to winning ways when Bournemouth visit them in the Premier League on Sunday. Spurs are currently on a two-game losing streak, suffering a 1-0 defeat at the hands of AZ Alkmaar in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 encounter.
Meanwhile, the Cherries beat Wolverhampton Wanderers on penalties to progress to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup in their latest outing.
Heading into the knockout stage of the Champions League in midweek on the back of a 1-0 loss to Manchester City last weekend, Spurs found themselves trailing AZ because of a freakish own goal from Lucas Bergvall.
The back-to-back losses snapped the momentum that they had built up with successive victories against Manchester United and Ipswich Town.
Having picked up just a single win in their last nine Premier League home matches, Ange Postecoglou's men currently sit a lowly 13th in the table and will be desperate to return to the top half of the table.
Their Sunday opponents Bournemouth trail fourth-placed Manchester City by just four points and they will want to up the ante as they chase a European berth this term.
The Cherries have picked up six wins on the road this Premier League season and will fancy their chances against the Lilywhites who have struggled in front of their fans.
But Bournemouth are in the middle of a poor run themselves, losing three of their last four league outings including suffering successive losses in their last two. They did manage to beat Spurs in the corresponding fixture in the first half of the ongoing campaign.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Bournemouth Prediction
Both Spurs and the Cherries are known for their high-pressing. Sunday's match could get a little cagey in the centre of the pitch but both teams are expected to be relatively cautious as a loss could be quite dispiriting for either side. They are likely to share the spoils at the end of a tight contest.
