Bournemouth welcome Tottenham to the Vitality Stadium as both sides look to go up Premier League table amid mixed results of late.
Hosts beat Wolves 4-2 in a frenzied match last weekend to move up to 13th ahead of the midweek fixtures, and Andoni Iraola’s side have surprised fans and pundits alike with their quality this season.
Ange Postecoglou‘s side worked on a Draw 1-1 with Fulham which took them to seventh place ahead of the next round of games, with the Australian again coming under fire in some quarters after his side followed up a scintillating 4-0 win over Manchester City with another poor result.
And with just two points separating the two teams at the start of the game, it promises to be an intriguing contest on the south coast that gives both sides the chance to improve their position. Follow all the latest from Vitality Stadium on our live blog below:

HALFTIME! Bournemouth 1-0 Tottenham
“I don’t think Tottenham could have played any worse in the second half,” says Les Ferdinand on Prime Video.
Spurs have Son, Werner, Porra and Bergvall as options on the bench.
You’d imagine we’ll be seeing the Son very soon if this continues.

Dean Huijsin starts with the Vitality Stadium by signing his name. An unforgettable half-time and a goal for the 19-year-old, only on his third start in the Premier League.

HALF TIME! Bournemouth 1-0 Tottenham
As if to sum up half of Spurs, the whistle blows as they move the ball from side to side on the edge of the Bournemouth box. They could have played there for another five minutes and not scored. Bournemouth lead.

44 min: SAVE! So close 2-0! Beautiful play by Bournemouth with a great overlap and pass by Kerkez. It’s a poor delivery, at the height of the head, but at a fast pace. He finds Tavernier but Forster puts out a big leg to save.

37 mins: Chance for Kulusevski after Kerkez loses 50-50 to Sara… but Huijsen reads it well and clears the danger. From a Spurs corner, guess who headed it in? Huijsen. He has a poor game after looking a bit nervous in the beginning.

Bournemouth 1-0 Tottenham
33 minutes: Just one goal for Tottenham so far. They have the best attack in the Premier League this season, in terms of goals, but they haven’t looked like it so far tonight. Bournemouth have been much more dangerous so far.
Huijsen makes an excellent sliding challenge on Solanke to break up Tottenham’s attack.

Bournemouth 1-0 Tottenham
31 mins: Bournemouth have the ball in the net again… but it’s offside! However, Bournemouth broke forward so easily after Maddison gifted the ball away. Evanilson could have taken it forward, but his pass to Tavernier came too late and the striker was offside.
