Tottenham team vs Bournemouth confirmed: Pochettino goes strong as Trippier and Rose start

Mauricio Pochettino has named the Tottenham Hotspur side to face Bournemouth for their last Premier League away game of the season in the Saturday lunchtime kick-off.

Pochettino has made just three changes to up his starting XI following the 1-0 defeat to Ajax in the Champions League semi-final first leg as he looks to secure a top four spot with a win.

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

Moussa Sissoko returned from the bench against the Dutch side and starts at the Vitality Stadium. Son Heung-min was suspended for the European game and also returns.

Pochettino has not changed his full-backs as he often does, with Kieran Trippier and Danny Rose playing once again. Eric Dier comes back into the midfield with Victor Wanyama dropping to the bench.

After having no attacking players on the bench on Tuesday, Pochettino now has both Fernando Llorente and Vincent Janssen among his substitutes.

Here is the team Spurs will start with against Eddie Howe's team:  Lloris, Trippier, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Rose, Dier, Sissoko, Alli, Eriksen, Lucas, Son, Subs: Gazzaniga, Foyth, Davies, Skipp, Wanyama, Llorente, Janssen.

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