PREM: Wolves v Bournemouth preview

Wolves v Bournemouth preview

Eddie Howe has urged Bournemouth to move on from their defeat to Liverpool when they travel to Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Cherries were beaten 4-0 at home by Liverpool, with striker Callum Wilson missing the game due to a hamstring injury.

Manager Eddie Howe says Wilson has "recovered well" and should be in contention as the Cherries look to return to winning ways.

After a strong start to the season, they have lost five of their last six matches.

"We want to get out there and put the Liverpool game to bed," said Howe. "The Christmas period is a really important time for us. We know we can build some real momentum and these periods can often define seasons.

"Wolves have done well and have carried their form and playing style forward from the Championship."

Wolves would leapfrog Bournemouth in the table if they win this weekend.

They have beaten Chelsea and Newcastle in their last two outings.

Bournemouth midfielder Dan Gosling is set for a spell on the sidelines following an operation on his knee.

England midfielder Lewis Cook will miss the rest of the season because of a serious knee injury, which has also seen him have surgery. Defender Adam Smith (knee) continues his rehabilitation.

Raul Jimenez and Joao Moutinho could return for Wolves after being on the bench for last week's 2-1 win at Newcastle.

Jonny is training after a knee injury but boss Nuno Espirito Santo has no new injury concerns.
