Spurs Team News: Van de Ven Fit, Solanke Doubtful
Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing draw against Brentford when they face Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday.
Here's a look at the latest team news:
Van de Ven fit and ready to go:
The big news for Spurs is the return of Micky van de Ven. The Dutch defender missed the Brentford game with a knock but is expected to be fully fit for the Bournemouth clash. His return will be a welcome boost for Spurs, who were shaky at the back against Brentford.
Solanke doubtful:
Bournemouth, meanwhile, will be hoping that striker Dominic Solanke recovers from a knock in time for the game. Solanke, who has been in excellent form this season, is a doubt for the match. His absence would be a major blow for the Cherries.
Other injury concerns:
Bournemouth are also sweating over the fitness of Ryan Fredericks and Joe Rothwell, both of whom are nursing injuries.
Spurs will be hoping to build on their recent performances. They've been in good form, even in the draw against Brentford, and will be confident of getting a positive result at Bournemouth.
Key Players to Watch:
For Tottenham:
- Son Heung-min: The South Korean forward is coming off a strong start to the season, with a goal and an assist against Brentford.
- James Maddison: The former Leicester City star has been a revelation since his arrival, adding creativity and dynamism to the Spurs midfield.
For Bournemouth:
- Kieffer Moore: The target man will be looking to cause havoc for the Spurs defense.
- David Brooks: The Welsh winger is a threat in the final third with his pace and directness.
Match Prediction:
Spurs should have enough to edge out a win against Bournemouth. Van de Ven's return will bolster their defense, and with the attacking talents of Son and Maddison, they have the firepower to score goals. However, Bournemouth are not easy opponents, and they will be looking to make life difficult for the visitors.
Final Verdict:
Spurs will be looking to make it three wins from their last four league games. With Van de Ven back in the fold, they have the necessary defensive stability to get the job done. They will be hoping for a positive result at Bournemouth, and with the attacking quality at their disposal, they should be able to overcome a tricky away fixture.
