Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou said Bournemouth are ‘a tough challenge, not just of late but from last year’. In his pre-match press conference, he said: “They came here and were really aggressive with their football. “Especially at their place, they’ve beaten City and Arsenal at their place.”

Ange Postecoglou has revealed Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke is feeling "much better" after he missed Spurs' last match against Fulham with illness. The 27-year-old was not part of the matchday squad at the weekend with Postecoglou explaining on Sunday that the striker was "under the weather".
