Spurs looking to get back to winning ways in the Premier League
Tottenham are back in Premier League action on Thursday with what looks a difficult trip to Bournemouth.
Spurs were held to an underwhelming 1-1 draw by an impressive Fulham side on Sunday, failing to build on their 4-0 victory over Manchester City late last month.
While the absence of a number of key players undoubtedly limited Ange Postecoglou’s side somewhat, it’s difficult to get away from the narrative that Spurs remain hugely inconsistent.
The Cherries smashed Wolves 4-2 on Saturday and will no doubt offer a stern test.
Though the south coast have a poor record against Spurs in the Premier League, they’ve already beaten both Arsenal and Manchester City at home this season.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
Bournemouth vs Tottenham is scheduled for an 8.15pm GMT kick-off time on Thursday 5 December 2024.
The Vitality Stadium (Dean Court) in Bournemouth will host.
TV channel: The game will be broadcast on Amazon Prime Video.
Live stream: Subscribers will be able to watch on a live stream via the Amazon Prime website or app.

The hosts could welcome back both Lewis Cook and Antoine Semenyo following their win over Wolves. Julian Araujo, Luis Sinisterra and Alex Scott are all injured.
Spurs will hope to welcome back former Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke following the bout of illness that ruled him out of the Fulham game. Micky van de Ven has posted a positive injury update on social media but it would be a surprise to see him rushed back into action given the nature of his hamstring injury.

Cristian Romero may return, though goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is out of the foreseeable future.
On their day, Spurs can beat any team in the League but the injuries cannot be overlooked. A force to be reckoned with at home, Bournemouth will fancy their chances.
