Tottenham could cut the gap to three points at the top of the table when they face Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.
Liverpool play after we do, and they have a tough game against Arsenal, where our North London rivals could do us a favour.
One player who did not play in our 5-0 win over Bournemouth was Dele Alli as he was recuperating from a hamstring injury picked up against Everton.

Spurs confirmed that the player is being assessed ahead of the clash on Saturday, but some fans wanted the Englishman to be rested.

We should have enough players to cover for Alli if he misses out on this game, and there is a half of the season remaining for the Englishman to play.

Son Heung-min will be leaving for the Asian Cup in January and the best decision would be to keep the Englishman away from the starting XI against Wolves.
