Spurs host Bournemouth at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this weekend, with an eye on entering the international break with a perfect Premier League record.
Thomas Frank has steadied the ship early doors, stunning Manchester City at the Etihad as well as making light work of Burnley on the opening day of the season.
Bournemouth will provide tough competition and a more physical and intense test. The Cherries beat Wolves away from home last season, following a narrow defeat at Anfield the week before.

Bournemouth underwent a heavy change this summer after their entire back line was ripped apart. The sales of Dean Huijsen, Milos Kerkez, and Ilya Zabaryni made the club around £151 million.
However, the biggest positive at the Vitality Stadium is that Bournemouth managed to keep manager Andoni Iraola at the club, their most important asset.
In the league last season Spurs suffered two defeats at the hands of Bournemouth. The game often provides goals and drama, with Saturday’s affair unlikely to be any different.
