Spurs at full-strength as unknown goalkeeper appears for Bournemouth

Mauricio Pochettino has named the strongest possible side available to him for the trip to Bournemouth on Saturday lunch-time.

Kieran Trippier (£6.0m) and Danny Rose (£5.8m) have recently been in and out of the Spurs team for Premier League matches given their involvement in the Champions League.

However, both of them have been selected to face the Cherries this afternoon.

Pochettino has gone with a traditional back-four as Toby Alderweireld (£6.0m) and Davinson Sánchez (£5.8m) line-up at centre-back.

Christian Eriksen (£9.2m) and Dele Alli (£8.8m) both keep their places in the first XI while Son Heung-min (£8.8m) comes back in after missing the Champions League clash midweek.

The South Korean was suspended for the first leg against Ajax which will have kept him fresh for today and next week’s crucial matches.

His return to the side sees Fernando Llorente (£5.1m) drop to the bench.

Meanwhile, those who sold Spurs assets for Gameweek 37 will be somewhat nervous when looking at the Bournemouth team.

Unknown goalkeeper Mark Travers has been handed a first Premier League start and as yet is not even in FPL.

Artur Boruc (£4.1m) has been named on the bench while Asmir Begovic (£4.3m) does not make the matchday squad.

Callum Wilson (£6.8m), Josh King (£6.4m) and Ryan Fraser (£6.3m) all start for Bournemouth too.

    How are players like Ake plying their trade in the Premier League? Shocking

      I don't think it suits Bournemouth they are more of a counter attacking team. Clueless when given possession and told to break down opponents.
