How Tottenham Hotspur could line up against Bournemouth

How Tottenham could line up against Bournemouth

Tottenham Hotspur interim head coach Cristian Stellini will be on the touchline for Saturday's Premier League home clash with relegation-threatened Bournemouth.

Both Stellini and Roberto De Zerbi were sent off for failing to control their technical areas in Spurs' win over Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend, but the FA are yet to decide on any sanctions fo the two managers.

Stellini should be working with an identical Tottenham squad, as the suspended Lucas Moura misses out alongside Rodrigo Bentancur (knee), Emerson Royal (knee), Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring), Ben Davies (hamstring) and Yves Bissouma (ankle).

Hugo Lloris will endeavour to keep his first clean sheet since returning from a knee injury in goal, as Cristian Romero, Eric Dier and Clement Lenglet form an unchanged backline.

Pedro Porro and Ivan Perisic's spots are in no danger given Spurs' injury concerns out wide, while Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg somehow avoided conceding a penalty against Brighton after treading on Kaoru Mitoma's foot - the Seagulls have since received an apology from the PGMOL.

As a result, Hojbjerg and Oliver Skipp should link arms in the middle once again, while Son Heung-min scored his 100th Premier League goal in some style against Brighton - becoming the first Asian player to do so with a peach of a curler into the top corner.

Son and Dejan Kulusevski are poised to provide support to top scorer Harry Kane, who sits on 99 Premier League goals on familiar territory and could become the first player in history to score 100 home and away in the competition.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Porro, Hojbjerg, Skipp, Perisic; Kulusevski, Kane, Son
