Tottenham Hotspur stars Davinson Sanchez, Lucas Moura, Fernando Llorente, and Moussa Sissoko look dejected after the loss to Ajax
The problem is, they still aren’t guaranteed a place in next year’s competition with Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United all still capable of finishing in the Premier League’s top four.
If Mauricio Pochettino’s men can beat the Cherries they will confirm their qualification but the Argentine’s injury-ravaged squad is currently barely dragging themselves onto the pitch, looking tired since their heroics against Manchester City.
Jan Vertonghen is likely to join the injury list this weekend, with Serge Aurier (hamstring), Erik Lamela, Harry Winks (groin), and Harry Kane (ankle) already on it, while Lucas Moura, Fernando Llorente, Kieran Trippier, and Danny Rose were among those who looked seriously fatigued by the end of Spurs’ defeat to the Dutch giants on Tuesday.

Kyle Walker-Peters could finally get a spot on the pitch having grabbed three assists at Wembley in the previous match with Bournemouth, he should get the nod with Juan Foyth playing centrally alongisde Davinson Sanchez, while Ben Davies will start so Rose can rest.
Eric Dier was only a late substitute in midweek so should start and he may be alongside starlet Oliver Skipp, 18, with Victor Wanyama and Moussa Sissoko filling the bench should they be needed.
