Predicted Tottenham XI to face Bournemouth after Eric Dier’s four-match ban

Tottenham Hotspur take on relegation-threatened Bournemouth this week in the Premier League but will do so without defender Eric Dier.

The England international was handed a four-match ban by the FA today after entering the stands following a Norwich City match in March (BBC).

We believe that Davinson Sanchez and Jan Vertonghen will come in to replace Dier and Ben Davies against the Cherries to sure things up at the back.

Toby Alderweireld and Serge Aurier will retain their spots in defence, while Hugo Lloris remains between the sticks.

Moussa Sissoko is handed a much-needed rest by Mourinho, with the Special One opting for an all-academy duo of Harry Winks and Oliver Skipp.

Giovani Lo Celso is given the chance to take up a more advanced position as he did against Everton, with Heung-min Son and Steven Bergwijn on the wings. Lucas Moura drops to the bench. Harry Kane, as usual, leads the line for the Lilywhites.
