After making a solid start to life under new manager Ange Postecoglou in the Premier League, Tottenham's attentions now turn to their trip to face Bournemouth on Saturday.
Last time out the London side got the better of Manchester United to win 2-0 thanks to a goal from Pape Matar Sarr and a Lisandro Martinez own goal, an impressive victory which followed on from their 1-1 draw away to Brentford on matchday one.
But after a summer of eye-catching incoming signings, Bournemouth will prove a tough nut to crack here.
They held West Ham 1-1 at the Vitality Stadium during their league opener this season, and although they went down 1-3 to ten-man Liverpool last time out, they'll be hoping to claim their first victory of the campaign in this matchup.

Bournemouth vs Tottenham best bet
- Pick: Over 2.5 goals
- Odds: -170 (BetMGM)
Although they managed to keep a clean sheet against Manchester United last weekend, it's already evident again that this season Spurs won't be keeping their opponents off the scoresheet that often.
Their 2-2 draw against Brentford on matchday one highlighted that their defence still needs plenty of improvement and although they kept out United, the Red Devils probably should have scored if it wasn't for some very poor finishing.
On top of that, Bournemouth have already found themselves both scoring and conceding in their two Premier League outings so far this campaign which points towards another high-scoring affair in this clash on Saturday.
Bournemouth vs Tottenham flier bet
- Pick: Dejan Kulusevski to score anytime
- Odds: +410 (Fanduel)
Although Dejan Kulusevski is yet to find the back of the net this season, he has shown quality down Tottenham's right wing throughout the club's opening two Premier League matches.
With the ability to cut inside or go the long way around his opposing defender, he's registered five shots over 180 minutes of play this campaign with an xG of 0.11. Additionally, two of those efforts have been on target, with both coming in his side's last match against Manchester United.
To give this selection a little more appeal, it should also be mentioned that six of Kulusevski's seven Spurs league goals have come away from home.
