Premier League
Vitality Stadium
Halfway through our run of four consecutive away games and we haven't lost, but we've had two disappointing draws.
We could really do with a lift, I feel, but it'll be a tough match against an in-form team.
They started the season poorly and looked like they might suffer from second season syndrome.
Winning three of the last six and losing only one has put that sort of talk to bed though, for now.
They absolutely battered Hull in their last game too, chalking up their record victory in the Premier League.
Eddie Howe is steadily building himself an impressive reputation, while avoiding controversy.
Winning the Championship, comfortably avoiding relegation and making a decent start to this campaign has put him on many people's radar.
There's some talk of him being considered for big jobs in the future and you can see why.
His sides play decent football, get good results and he comes across very well to the media.
He's still fairly inexperienced at this level though, which might help Bournemouth to keep him.
This might be another tie where we face players with a point to prove.
Wilshere will certainly be a figure of hate and will be fired up, hoping to make his way back to the Goons.
Nathan Ake's another loanee from a London club and the Chelsea youth player was dismissed when playing for Watford against us.
Adam Smith and Charlie Daniels will have different but equally strong motivations, having come through our academy.
Benik Afobe and Junior Stanislas were raised by Arsenal and West Ham, respectively.
This fixture last season was something of a turning point for Harry Kane's season.
He was going through something of a drought and a poor start by our defence was ominous.
Matt Ritchie put the hosts ahead after less than a minute, firing home after errors at the back.
Not what you need when your only striker is struggling to find the net.
Artur Boruc decided to give us a hand though and it was basically all Spurs after the opener.
The Polish keeper brought Kane down unnecessarily, allowing him to level things up from the spot.
Dembele took advantage of hesitancy from a Rose shot to put us ahead and it was still less than 20 minutes in.
Boruc dropped Kane's cross shortly after that, allowing Lamela to extend the lead before half-time.
The second half didn't see any let up and Kane took full advantage to score his second league hat-trick.
An Eriksen cross allowed him to get his brace, as he netted ten minutes after the restart.
Another Boruc error gave him the opportunity to make it three for him and five for us.
His confidence was fully restored at that point and he was happy to take it.

The return leg was a pretty uncompetitive affair, as we comfortably beat a side that had secured safety.
Bournemouth had just won three games on the bounce and made it to 38 points from 31 games.
It was our turn to take an early lead this time, as Kane put away Walker's cross in the first minute.
He made it two on the day and 21 in the league from an Alli pass 15 minutes later.
Eriksen made it three early in the second half, as Boruc palmed out another shot from Kane.

We have no suspensions for this, but Kane and Alderweireld will miss out.
Rose picked up a knock against Leverkusen, but should be available.
Bournemouth have no suspensions either and no definite injuries.
They have a few players that will face late tests though, including Harry Arter.
Lineups for each side's last league game:
Spurs: Lloris; Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies; Wanyama; Sissoko, Eriksen, Alli, Lamela; Janssen.
Subs: Vorm, Trippier, Dier, Dembele, Onomah, N'Koudou, Son.
League form: DWWWWD.
Bournemouth: Boruc; Smith, Francis, Cook, Daniels; Surman, Arter; Stanislas, Wilshere, Ibe; Wilson.
Subs: Federici, Mings, Ake, Gosling, Fraser, King, Afobe.
League form: DWLWDW.
Referee: Craig Pawson. Last season's ref, Roger East, is the fourth official.
Pochettino will rotate after a tough midweek game, but who should come in and who needs a rest?
Should we switch the fullbacks completely, as he usually does or keep one on both in?
Should Son lead the line or has Janssen done enough to keep his place?
