José Mourinho’s two games in charge of Tottenham have been manic but fans will breathe a sigh of relief they are safely through to the knockout stages of the Champions League. Bournemouth will hope Mourinho’s defence continues to struggle as they attempt to end a disappointing losing streak since beating Manchester United. Eddie Howe has to do without Josh King, with Ryan Fraser also a doubt, and the scales feel tipped in Mourinho’s favour. Graham Searles
