*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Tottenham lost 1-0 at AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League on Thursday evening just days after they were beaten in identical manner by Man City (0-1) and the Londoners have just a 38.5% chance of bouncing back here.
Bournemouth have lost three of their last four games in the league, however, the Cherries will travel to the capital as 29/20 favourites on Sunday due to their superior overall record this season. Check out more of our football predictions and Premiere League analysis on our dedicated page.

Tottenham preview: Spurs have defensive issues
Tottenham still have injury worries, particularly in defence where Radu Dragusin, Ben Davies, Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero are dealing with issues. Ange Postecoglou went virtually full-strength against AZ in midweek, so fatigue could be an issue for Spurs on Sunday.
Predicted lineup: Vicario (GK), Spence, Gray, Danso, Udogie, Bergvall, Bentancur, Maddison, Johnson, Son, Tel

Player to watch – Justin Kluivert
Dutchman Justin Kluivert has been a potent weapon in attack for Bournemouth this season and the versatile forward has been doing the majority of his good work in away games for the Cherries.

Kluivert is an away-day specialist
Kluivert has scored 12 times in the Premier League this season and a remarkable ten of those goals were notched on the road for Bournemouth. Indeed, only Mohammed Salah (16) has scored more away goals than Kluivert so far, and the 25-year-old could be a handful again when the Cherries visit Tottenham.
