Tottenham vs Bournemouth
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Wembley Stadium, London
Date: Wednesday, December 26, 2018
Kick-off: 3pm GMT
Tottenham are flying high after a thumping win over so-called 'top six' rival Everton and now host another team flirting with the Premier League big boys in Bournemouth.
Spurs hit six at Goodison Park just days after speculation heightened over a possible move to Old Trafford for manager Mauricio Pochettino. Now Pochettino faces a man who has been touted as a possible successor, Eddie Howe.
Title rivals Liverpool and Manchester City are also in action at 3pm so Boxing Day could prove pivotal during a busy festive schedule.

Team news
Dele Alli was withdrawn at half-time with a hamstring injury at Goodison Park so is a doubt for Boxing Day, along with Moussa Sissoko who suffered a knock.
Elsewhere, Jan Vertonghen (thigh), Mousa Dembele (ankle), Victor Wanyama (knee), and Eric Dier (appendix) are still out.
No fresh injury concerns for Bournemouth with Adam Smith, Dan Gosling and Lewis Cook (all knee) out for the foreseeable.
