Gameweek 9 gets underway this lunchtime as in-form Bournemouth welcome Tottenham Hotspur to the Vitality Stadium.

Eddie Howe’s side warmed up for this one with a 6-1 hammering of Hull City last weekend and have now won each of their last three home fixtures.

The hosts are without Junior Stanislas, however, after the winger – who bagged two goals and a pair of assists against the Tigers – was ruled out with a calf injury.

Callum Wilson and Charlie Daniels have also been subject to increased Fantasy Premier league interest this week ahead of clashes against ‘Boro, Sunderland and Stoke in the subsequent three.

Spurs are without the injured Toby Alderweireld after the Belgian was forced off against West Brom last weekend.

A goalless draw against Bayern Leverkusen means the north London side have chalked up a clean sheet in five of the last seven in all competitions, boosting their chances of extending an unbeaten start to the Premier League campaign.

Son Heung-Min’s owners will also be keeping a keen eye on today’s encounter. Having earned over 328,000 transfers in prior to Gameweek 8, the South Korean was utilised as a late sub at the Hawthorns and was stationed on the left flank in Germany against his former club.

This time around, though, it looks like he will lead the line as Vincent Janssen drops to the bench.

With Leicester, Arsenal, West Ham and Chelsea directly after today’s fixture, a lack of returns could persuade Son’s 13% owners to reassess.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    1. Brap.

  11. Danstoke82
    10 years, 4 days ago

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      10 years, 4 days ago

      What did you expect from Wilson then? 😀

      1. Danstoke82
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Judging by how my season has gone up to now....not a lot.

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          10 years, 4 days ago

          He's a good pick but chances of him scoring against the best defence in the league so far, were pretty low 😀

  12. Alnair
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Wilson off

  13. Brap.
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Wilson off…worked hard, ropey service, glad I went Austin…for now anyway

    1. Parm

      This is the best defence in the league and has been for the past year, wouldn't draw any conclusions.

  14. some witty pun
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Wilshere to Adobe

    Whatever Spurs paid for Sissoko, it was too much. Poor attitude. Poor professional. Poor transfer.

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      10 years, 4 days ago

      I think it was a good buy. You just need him to actually care and hes basically unstoppable

      1. The Enlightener
        10 years, 4 days ago

        That is a huge if. I have seen plenty of him, and he often loses his head or just has a poor attitude/work ethic. No way to really justify him.

  17. Malcolm Tucker for England …

    Arter is gonna kill him..

    Pards: Yohan comes in as Punch is injured which means we wont change our formation today so the same set up for us.

    Down to 10 because of Amat. Looks like a hit would have been decent.

    When was the last time a premier league club had all 11 players from UK and Ireland?

    Hull starting 10 today, with Elmo the only exception.
