Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has fired a warning at Tottenham ahead of today's clash.

Bournemouth's ground may be the smallest in the Premier League, with a capacity of just 11,450, but Howe maintains away sides will not relish coming there.

"I always think this is a tough place to come, if I was an opposing manager preparing my team to play here - the crowd are involved, the stadium is tight, usually with a very good atmosphere," he said.

"They are not nice environments to play in when you are an opposing team.

"Our style of play is intense, it is quick - we have to execute that right, and when we have done that, we have been tough to play against, when we don't, there is a chance we might lose.

"A very good start in this match will be crucial to get the crowd involved. The supporters are a huge part of when we play here because they are so close to the pitch.

"They have always been like an extra man for us, in certain matches they have pulled us over the line."
