Mauricio Pochettino has labelled Eddie Howe a "fantastic coach" as he prepares to pit his wits against the Bournemouth boss.
Tottenham travel to the south coast for Saturday's Premier League showdown boasting an unbeaten record in the top flight this season.
But the Cherries are in good form, having lost just once in their last six league games, and Pochettino lauded the way Howe – tipped as a future England manager – is going about his work.
"The job he has done is unbelievable," he told Spurs TV.
"I think they demonstrate each week that they're a group with standards, a group that recognizes what they have to do and how they have to play.
"For me he's a phenomenal coach and a coach I like a great deal."
Spurs dished out a 5-1 hammering to Bournemouth in this fixture last season, but will be without Harry Kane, who netted a hat-trick, this time around.
The England striker has a lower leg harm, while defender Toby Alderweireld is out with a knee issue.
