Tottenham Hotspur will look to bounce back from their disappointing midweek Champions League exit when they face Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday.

Spurs looked to be on course to see off Juventus when the in-form Son Heung-Min gave them a first-half lead, but two goals in the space of three second-half minutes for the Serie A giants saw them lose 2-1 on the night, and 4-3 on aggregate, to exit the competition.

The focus for the north London outfit over the course of the rest of the season must now be to secure a top-four finish in the top flight in order to qualify for Europe's elite club competition again – starting on the south coast this weekend.

Mauricio Pochettino's men further cemented their spot in the Champions League qualification spots when they beat Huddersfield Town 2-0 at Wembley last weekend – with Son once again scoring both of their goals – which has left them five points clear of fifth-placed Chelsea with nine matches of the season remaining.

The Argentine boss will know that they can't afford to slip up between now and the end of the campaign with their London neighbours likely to be breathing down their necks if they do, and he will certainly take some solace from the fact that his side have won half of their 14 Premier League matches on the road this term.

The 46-year-old only made one enforced change from the side that beat Huddersfield for the match against Juventus on Wednesday night as Serge Aurier was suspended, but he will be considering freshening things up against the Cherries.

Here is how Tottenham must line up against Bournemouth on Sunday, ahead of Hugo Lloris in goal…

 

With Toby Alderweireld seemingly still not ready to start for Tottenham, Davinson Sanchez and Jan Vertonghen should continue at the heart of the defence against Bournemouth with few other options available.

Pochettino should consider shaking things up at full-back however and Kieran Tripper, who struggled against Juventus and came under criticism from his own supporters afterwards, should be replaced by Aurier at the Vitality Stadium.

Ben Davies didn't have his best night either and with Danny Rose champing at the bit to start, he must be handed a place in the XI against the Cherries.

Tottenham's official Twitter account reported on Friday that Eric Dier is a doubt for the clash against Bournemouth because of an elbow injury he sustained against Juventus, and he shouldn't be risked on the south coast if he isn't 100% fit.

Victor Wanyama is ready to start alongside Mousa Dembele in the middle of the park having had to be patient on the substitutes' bench in recent weeks, and Pochettino should bring the Kenya international back into the XI on the south coast whatever the situation is on Sunday – especially after Dier put in a disappointing display against the Serie A giants and was slammed by his own supporters post-match.

Harry Kane and Son – who has now scored five goals in his last three appearances in all competitions for the club – are undroppable right now, but the same can't be said for Dele Alli who was once again on the periphery against Juventus.

Perhaps it is time for the 21-year-old to be rested on the south coast, with Christian Eriksen moving into the middle and Lucas Moura earning a well-deserved start out wide.

That quartet should have more than enough to get the goals that Tottenham need to pick up an important three points at the Vitality Stadium.
