Match Preview:

If you had to pick out one pound for pound team that has impressed in the Premier League so far this season you could do no wrong in picking Bournemouth. Eddie Howe’s side are in 6^th place, 4 points from the top, 3 points in front of Manchester United have started the campaign with a superb work rate and a fantastic attitude.

They come into this game having won their last two matches against Crystal Palace and Watford and it was the latter game that really impressed as they beat the Hornets 4-0 away from home. Depending on results Bournemouth could enter the top 5 this weekend with a win here. At home they remain unbeaten from 4 games played with 3 wins and a draw.

Southampton meanwhile are struggling in 16^th place and whilst they have been genuinely unlucky in some games not to get something, facts are facts and they have now lost 3 games in a row.

They have conceded 8 goals in those defeats and on the road they have lost 3 from 4 matches, winning just one. With just 5 points to their name it is possible that if they lose this match they could already be sucked into the relegation zone.
