Confirmed line-ups | Spurs vs AFC Bournemouth

We can confirm the starting line-ups and substitutes for today’s (Sunday 31 December) Premier League clash with Nottingham Forest.

Ange Postecoglou has made two changes to the side that started Thursday's night's clash with Brighton.

Rodrigo Bentancur returns to the side for time since picking up an injury in our 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa, replacing Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who takes a place amongst our substitutes.

Giovani Lo Celso also returns to the starting XI for the first time since our 2-1 defeat to West Ham earlier this month, replacing Dejan Kulusevski who misses out through suspension - he picked up his fifth yellow card of the season in Thursday's defeat to Brighton.

Oliver Skipp makes a return to the matchday squad having missed the Amex trip through injury. He replaces Yago Santiago on the bench.

Here is our full line-up…

Starting XI: Vicario; Pedro Porro, Royal, Davies, Udogie; Bentancur, Sarr, Lo Celso; Son (c), Richarlison, Johnson.

Substitutes: Forster, Dorrington, Dier, Phillips, Hojbjerg, Skipp, Bryan, Veliz, Donley.
