Expected Tottenham team to face Bournemouth: Pochettino to make 5 changes including Juan Foyth

Tottenham Hotspur travel to Bournemouth for their last Premier League away game of the season in the Saturday lunchtime kick-off.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino will need to freshen up his side after the 1-0 defeat to Ajax in the Champions League semi-final first leg.

He is still missing Harry Kane, Harry Winks, Erik Lamela and Serge Aurier through injury while Jan Vertonghen is likely to miss out in order to fully rest after his head injury against Ajax.

Moussa Sissoko returned against the Dutch side and could well start at the Vitality Stadium if the sports science team deem him to be fit enough. Son Heung-min was suspended for the European game and returns for selection.

Pochettino will switch up his full-backs and he must decide on the right whether to go with Juan Foyth, who has impressed in the role recently, or Kyle Walker-Peters, who has been out of the picture recently but managed to lay on three assists in the home game against the Cherries earlier in the season.

Mauricio Pochettino reveals what he told his Spurs players before their defeat to Ajax 

Eric Dier is likely to come back into the midfield with Victor Wanyama dropping to the bench.

Here is the team we reckon Pochettino will start with against Eddie Howe's team:

(4-3-3) Lloris; Foyth, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Davies; Sissoko, Dier, Eriksen; Alli, Lucas, Son.

Pochettino on next season's plans at Spurs: 'We cannot live like we have in the last five years'
