Tottenham’s top-four credentials face an uphill task when they host an in-form Bournemouth side in their last game of the year. This Premier League matchday 20 will be played at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday. Ahead of the weekend fixtures, the hosts are 5th in the standings with 36 points from 19 matches while the visitors are 12th with 25 points and a game in hand. Tottenham won the reverse fixture 2-0 in August on matchday three with James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski getting on the board. Incidentally, both are out of this match, as they look to continue their scoring streak against the Cherries. Tottenham have scored 32 goals in 13 Premier League matches against Bournemouth and will be looking to continue that trend here. They have also conceded at least three goals in three home league matches this season, so this match could be a thriller.

Bournemouth have been entertaining neutral fans with an excellent run of form in the recent times. This has seen them move from the dangers of relegation to being within touching distance of top-ten spots. The Cherries can make history if they continue their winning momentum, as they have lost the final league game of the year in four of the last five calendar years. Even last year saw them lose 2-0 to Crystal Palace on New Year’s Eve, and they would be keen to reverse the result this time out. They have happy memories of visiting this venue recently, having won this fixture 3-2 last season, so counting them out completely would be a mistake by the home team.
