THE LOWDOWN
BOURNEMOUTH
- Bournemouth played out an entertaining 2-2 draw away at Fulham at the weekend, extending their unbeaten run to six in the Premier League since that fateful afternoon at Anfield that saw them panned 9-0 by Liverpool.
- Defender Lloyd Kelly is out as is David Brooks, whilst midfielder Ben Pearson stands a chance of being passed fit for the game.
SOUTHAMPTON
- Southampton’s 1-1 draw vs West Ham last time out means the Saints have now gone five league matches without victory as the pressure continues to build on head coach Ralph Hasenhuttl.
- The visitors will be without defender Armel Bella-Kotchap after he was forced to leave the field on Sunday due to a dislocated shoulder and his replacement Duje Caleta-Car is likely to start in the centre of defence.
THE TEAM NEWS
BOURNEMOUTH
PREDICTED XI (4-4-2): Neto; Fredericks, Mepham, Senesi, Smith; Christie, Cook, Lerma, Tavernier; Billing, Solanke
UNAVAILABLE: Kelly (Injured), Brooks (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Pearson (Injured)
SOUTHAMPTON
PREDICTED XI (4-4-2): Bazunu; Walker-Peters, Caleta-Car, Salisu, Perraud; S. Armstrong, Ward-Prowse, Maitland-Niles, Aribo; Adams, A. Armstrong
UNAVAILABLE: Bella-Kotchap (Injured), Lavia (Injured), Livramento (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Diallo (Illness), Walcott (Illness)
THE PREDICTION
As you would expect in the South Coast derby, a bit of tension may be evident on both sides with neither wanting to give up three points against a local rival. This could lead to a cagey affair between the two teams as each prioritise defensive stability. Of Bournemouth’s last six matches unbeaten, four of those have ended in draws and backing the same outcome to occur in this one looks the smart play, a result which isn’t likely to upset the Cherries as it keeps the gap between them and Southampton in the Premier League table at five points.
TIP: DRAW
