Key players
Bournemouth- Jack Wilshere
The English international is truly resurrecting his career at Dean Court after falling down the pecking order at Arsenal following a series of injuries.
Eddie Howe’s attacking football is getting the best out of the gifted midfielder and he will be looking to impress against Southampton.
Southampton- Virgil van Dijk
Southampton’s defence is truly excellent and mostly thanks to van Dijk who is among the best defenders in the division.
Bournemouth are an attacking side who will try to exploit their rivals defensively. The Dutchman has to come up with a solid outing to help his side silence Dean Court.
Odds
Bournemouth win @2/1
Draw @6/4
Southampton win @12/5
