Tottenham have gone with a familiar starting eleven for the Premier League visit of Bournemouth, selecting the same team that beat Aston Villa 2-0 away from home a week ago.
There is, however, a surprise among the substitutes. Mauricio Pochettino has continued his trend of promoting youth players to the first team squad by giving young full-back Kyle Walker-Peters a place on the bench.
Walker-Peters, not to be confused with Kyle Walker (who stars), is just eighteen years of age, and is set to make his Tottenham Hotspur debut if called upon.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to all the team news.

Strongest team from Pochettino, no excuses need to go out & get the job done against a Bournemouth side who won't make it easy for us#THFC

I'd give a toe for Pochettino to replace Kyle Walker with Kyle Walker-Peters with a few minutes to go today. Please, Mauricio.

Congratulations to @KyleLPeters on being named on the subs bench. Well deserved as he has been excellent for the U21s ??

Kyle Walker-Peters, he's one of our own.

Pretty standard team today; absolutely no reason why we shouldn't win today. Would like to have seen Son rewarded for his goal though.

#thfc #acfn You may not have known it but Bournemouth fullbacks Adam Smith and Charlie Daniels are both former Spurs academy players.
