Bournemouth will host Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 Premier League campaign. The home side have been one of the surprise teams in the English top flight this season and now sit fifth in the table with 43 points from 25 matches as they continue their push for a maiden European campaign.
They picked up a largely comfortable 3-1 win over relegation-threatened Southampton in their last match, with Dango Ouattara and Ryan Christie handing the Cherries a two-goal lead heading into the break before Marcus Tavernier came off the bench to seal the points with his first away strike since last April.
Wolverhampton Wanderers, meanwhile, have endured a difficult season but continue their push for survival. They locked horns with league leaders Liverpool last weekend and were expected to be comfortably beaten but lost just 2-1 after being the much better side in the second half in which the Reds failed to register a single shot attempt.

The visitors, who sit 17th in the table, are just two points above the drop zone but will be looking to take inspiration from their positive display at Anfield last time out when they head to southwestern England on Saturday.
