Tottenham Hotspur’s predicted XI: We predict Jose Mourinho’s starting XI for his side’s trip to relegation threatened Bournemouth

Tottenham Hotspur’s predicted XI: We predict Jose Mourinho’s starting XI for his side’s trip to relegation threatened Bournemouth.

Spurs travel to the South Coast this evening, where Mourinho will be hoping his team can put in a good performance and gain three points ahead of the North London derby at the weekend.

After suffering a disappointing 3-1 loss away to Sheffield United last week, Spurs somewhat turned it around with a 1-0 win at home to Everton on Monday night.

However, the performance was not exhilarating and with the North London outfit currently sat in tenth position in the Premier League there is a lot of improvement needed.

So which Tottenham players will be tasked with the challenge of getting three points tonight? Here we predict Mourinho’s XI…

Goalkeeper: Hugo Lloris it the headlines earlier in the week as he blasted teammate Heung-min Son for not tracking his man, which gained praised from his manager. The club captain will start again tonight.

Defenders: It’s quite clear that Mourinho doesn’t know what his best back four is. However his side kept a clean sheet against Everton, Mourinho would be keen to stick with the same back four to try and gain some stability across his back line. However, with centre back Eric Dier receiving a four game ban we expect the starting back four to be, Serge Aurier will start right back with Davison Sanchez partnering Toby Alderweireld and Ben Davies deployed at left back.

Midfielders: Moussa Sissoko is a go-to man for Mourinho, who is obviously a fan of the midfield man’s running power. We also beieve Giovanni Lo Celso will retain his place, but Eric Lamela will come into the side as Mourinho will want more creative talent on the field against Bournemouth’s leaky defence.

Forwards: Harry Kane is looking fitter and fitter with every game, so we expect the England international to hold onto his place with Son and Steven Berjgwijn coming in to replace Luca Moura as Mourinho hopes for goals.

Predicted XI: Hugo Lloris; Serge Aurier, Toby Alderweireld, Davison Sanchez, Ben Davies; Giovani Lo Celso, Moussa Sissoko, Eric Lamela; Harry Kane, Heung-min Son, Steven Bergwijn
