Tottenham Hotspur will welcome back new signing Dominic Solanke and defender Micky van de Ven for the crucial north London derby against Arsenal on Sunday. Solanke, who joined from Bournemouth for a record fee, missed the last two games with an ankle injury, while van de Ven missed the defeat at Newcastle. Manager Ange Postecoglou is hopeful for a positive outcome in the derby, despite Tottenham’s inconsistent start to the season.
Bournemouth has 42 points from 33 matches and sits in 13th place before facing Wolves, managed by former Cherries boss Gary O’Neil. Despite recent road losses, Bournemouth is on the verge of equaling its club record for the most Premier League away wins in a single season, with just one more victory needed to match the tally of six set in 2015-16. They also aim to surpass their record points total of 46 from the 2016-17 campaign, requiring five points from their final five matches. Dominic Solanke has already set a new club record for goals scored in a Premier League season and needs one more away goal to break the record for most away goals by a Bournemouth player.
