Tottenham v Bournemouth predictions

Bournemouth have enjoyed a rapid ascent up the Premier League standings, progressing from 18th in early November to 12th on Boxing Day, and they could cause Tottenham problems on New Year's Eve.

It took time for Andoni Iraola to impose his methods on the Cherries but the club stuck by their man and have reaped the rewards with Bournemouth taking 19 points from a possible 21 in their last seven games.

As part of that run they have beaten Newcastle and Manchester United, while they managed to hold Aston Villa to a 2-2 draw on the south coast.

Tottenham hit a purple patch earlier in December, beating Newcastle, Nottingham Forest and Everton.

But a 4-2 defeat away to Brighton last time out likely knocked their confidence and means they have failed to win three of their six games in December, so back Iraola's in-form visitors to avoid defeat in north London.
