Key facts

- Dominic Solanke has been involved in both of Bournemouth’s Premier League goals so far in 2023/24 (goal v West Ham and an assist v Liverpool). In his last appearance against Spurs, Solanke was involved in all three of the Cherries’ goals, setting up their opening goal and the winner, either side of scoring to put Bournemouth 2-1 up.

- All four of Kieffer Moore’s Premier League goals have come at the Vitality Stadium for Bournemouth, netting a brace in this fixture last season.

- Spurs have lost only one of their six Premier League away matches against Bournemouth (W3 D2).

- Spurs captain Son Heung-min has been involved in seven goals across his last six Premier League starts against Bournemouth (five goals and two assists), netting a brace at the Vitality Stadium back in March 2018. He created six chances for his team-mates in this fixture last season, his highest tally in a single Premier League away match (133 away appearances).

What the managers said

Andoni Iraola: "If you don't go to press, they don't lose the ball but if you go they will attract their spaces. It's a game where you have to take the right decisions, when to push, when to keep your back and let's hope we can take them tomorrow." More details

Ange Postecoglou: "Andoni did a fantastic job in LaLiga, tough league, and you can see he's already trying to bring in his own style but he'd probably be the same as me in saying you need far more than two games and a pre-season to put those imprints on your team." More details
