Eddie Howe believes he will be going up against one of "the very best" coaches in Mauricio Pochettino when Bournemouth hosts Tottenham on Saturday.
Bournemouth was taught a harsh lesson by Pochettino and Spurs in a first top-flight meeting between the two clubs in October 2015 — the Cherries losing 5-1 at home despite Matt Ritchie' breaking the deadlock inside the opening 60 seconds.
The return fixture at White Hart Lane was not quite so crushing, but Spurs still cruised to a straightforward 3-0 win — Harry Kane leading the way with a double, just as he did at the Vitality Stadium.
