Match preview

A 1-1 draw against Newcastle will have raised some spirits at Bournemouth but the Cherries have still won just one of their last 13 games and it is difficult to see them getting anything from their trip to Wolves.

It was not that long ago that their opponents were in the thick of the relegation scrap but they have shown a marked improvement - the two losses they have suffered in their last seven games came against the two Manchester clubs.

A win at Southampton may be little to crow about but the fact they did it playing with ten men for more than an hour is still impressive, as was their recent 3-0 home win over Liverpool that set Molineux rocking.

The Cherries have failed to find the net in seven of their Premier League games on the road this season and their visit to the Black Country only looks likely to worsen their relegation predicament.

Key stat

Bournemouth have failed to score in five of their last six Premier League away games
