Solanke and Udogie decisions made - The Tottenham team Thomas Frank must pick vs Bournemouth

Thomas Frank will be eyeing up a third successive Premier League win when Tottenham return to action on Saturday. Fresh from beating Burnley and Manchester City in their opening two fixtures, Spurs take on Bournemouth in N17 this weekend.

A point against the Cherries would be enough to take the Lilywhites to the summit of the Premier League table as Arsenal and Liverpool, who also both have a 100 per cent record this season, take on each other at Anfield on Sunday afternoon. Frank will be targeting all three points, though, as his team look to carry on their impressive start to the campaign.

Unfortunately it is Tottenham's last game before domestic action goes on pause for the first international break of the season. So could Frank switch things up in regards to his Spurs team this weekend? Our football.london writers have made their team selections below.

Frank has continually surprised us so far with little tweaks and changes in personnel and we all expected him to play a certain way at Manchester City with a back five and instead he went with a back four as his team nailed the game plan perfectly at the Etihad Stadium.

With that in mind you could suggest that he might bring in Wilson Odobert to add something different or Lucas Bergvall in the number 10 role but then how do you justify dropping Pape Matar Sarr, who was brilliant against City, or Brennan Johnson, who has scored in back-to-back games.

There could be a temptation to give Dominic Solanke his first start of the season up front, but Richarlison has been excellent so far this season. Destiny Udogie has also been back in training for a week now but Djed Spence has done more than enough to keep his place at left-back.

The games will come thick and fast after the international break and everyone will be getting minutes and chances to impress so for this weekend Frank can go with an unchanged winning line-up.

Gold's team: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Palhinha, Bentancur; Kudus, Sarr, Johnson; Richarlison.

There's no reason for Thomas Frank to change his Tottenham team that beat Manchester City last weekend as they've had a full week to prepare for the Bournemouth match. However, the Dane may still choose to alternate in a couple of positions.

Destiny Udogie could be back in the squad this weekend but it will come too soon for him to start. That means Djed Spence continues at left-back and Udogie may get an opportunity to get minutes in the tank towards the end of the encounter.

Dominic Solanke will have to contend with a place on the bench once again due to Richarlison's excellent form. The Brazilian will continue to lead the line and have support from Mohammed Kudus, Pape Matar Sarr and Brennan Johnson behind him.

Guest's team: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Palhinha, Bentancur; Kudus, Sarr, Johnson; Richarlison.
