Second-placed Tottenham will look to make three in a row when they host Bournemouth in their third Premier League outing on Saturday.
After thrashing 3-0 Burnley in their season opener, Tottenham registered another morale-boosting 2-0 victory against Manchester City last weekend. Under the leadership of newly elected boss Thomas Frank, Spurs are on a roll with their incredible performance so far this season. With six points in two outings, the hosts are sitting just below the leaders, Arsenal, on the Premier League leaderboard.
On the flip side, Bournemouth started their fresh season with a disappointing 2-4 loss to the reigning champs, Liverpool, but immediately bounced back to register a 1-0 convincing victory against the Wolves. The Cherries are currently placed ninth on the points table with three points from their two outings.

Tottenham vs. Bournemouth lineups, team news
The hosts have a long list of injuries going into this match. It will be interesting to see how Thomas Frank rotates the players for this match. Bryan Gil (knee), Dejan Kulusevski (knee), Destiny Udogie (muscle), James Maddison (ligament), Kota Takai (foot), Manor Solomon (knock), and Radu Dragusin (ligament) are all sidelined with their respective injuries.
Yves Bissouma's fitness will be assessed ahead of this game, but his participation is still uncertain. Palhinha and Bentancur are likely to retain their placed after their impressive performances against PSG and Man City recently.
In the attacking line, Richarlison and Brennan Johnson are contributing well for the team. Both have scored two goals in their two appearances and will retain their places for Saturday's fixture.
