Why Tottenham vs Bournemouth kick-off is delayed at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Tottenham's clash with Bournemouth has been delayed by 15 minutes after the Cherries' team bus was caught in traffic on the way to London, football.london understands.

The game was due to kick-off at 3pm but has now been pushed back to 3:15pm after an accident caused delays in the travel to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. A decision is yet to be announced.

Spurs are looking to put some pressure on Manchester United and can go fourth with a win, even if only for 24 hours with the Red Devils facing Nottingham Forest on Sunday afternoon.

Tottenham's last match, against Brighton last time out, was also delayed from the get-go.
