Tottenham predicted team vs Bournemouth: Cristian Stellini makes Danjuma and Kulusevski decision

Tottenham want to make it six home wins in a row when they take on Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Spurs lie three points behind third-placed Newcastle, who play in the early game at Aston Villa on Saturday, and Cristian Stellini will want his team to build momentum ahead of a week that has them playing three top four rivals in Newcastle, Manchester United and Liverpool in quick succession.

Injuries in Stellini's squad mean he cannot change too much within his starting XI but he could make a switch up front if he wants to add some fresh energy there.

Arnaut Danjuma finally got a chance from the bench and made his home debut two and a half months after joining Spurs last weekend and his pressing and movement off the ball played their part in Harry Kane's winning goal. However, there may be question marks over the Netherlands international's fitness to start a match having had so few minutes since arriving.

With Son Heung-min fully deserving of another start after his wonderful 100th Premier League goal and his part in Kane's goal, if Stellini does want to make a change up front it would be Dejan Kulusevski who gets a rest after a few performances that have brought plenty of effort but little end product.

If Danjuma was to start then it would likely see Son switch to the right, although the South Korean's ability to use both feet would mean that would not be a problem as he showed when supplying Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the build-up to Kane's goal.

Elsewhere, Richarlison is back in training but is not likely to be fit enough to start while elsewhere the team picks itself unless Stellini is tempted to bring Pape Matar Sarr into the midfield to create a three or to give Oliver Skipp a rest.

Here's the team we reckon Stellini will select:

3-4-3: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Porro, Hojbjerg, Skipp, Perisic; Kulusevski, Kane, Son.
