Bournemouth welcome back Nathaniel Clyne and Charlie Daniels for their Premier League meeting with Wolves on Saturday.

On-loan defender Clyne missed the Cherries' 3-0 defeat to Liverpool a fortnight ago as he was unable to play against his parent club.

Daniels was unavailable due to personal reasons, but both will return to the squad as Bournemouth look to avoid a third defeat in a row.

"We've had a good couple of weeks and done some good training," said manager Eddie Howe. "As well as various other things to keep the players entertained. It was productive and we had a good time preparing.

Bournemouth are 11th in the Premier League, nine points from the relegation zone.

Wolves are pushing to finish seventh in their first season back in the top flight. They have won five of their last seven matches in all competitions.

Opta stats

  • Bournemouth have never lost a home league game against Wolves, winning two and drawing one of their three previous matches.
  • Having won the reverse fixture 2-0, Wolves are looking to complete a league double over Bournemouth for the very first time.
  • Bournemouth have won their last two home league games by an aggregate score of 6-0. They last won three in a row at the Vitality Stadium in February 2018, while they last did so without conceding back in October 2014.
  • Only Fulham (88%) have won a higher percentage of their Premier League points in home games this season than Bournemouth (73% - 24/33).
  • Bournemouth's last six home defeats in the Premier League have come against 'big six' opposition, including all three this season. The last time another such side beat them at the Vitality Stadium in the competition was Burnley in November 2017.
  • Wolves have won three of their last five Premier League away games (D1 L1), as many as they had in their last 25 on the road in the competition (W3 D9 L13).
  • Wolves have won 11 Premier League games this season, their joint most in a single campaign in the competition (level with 2010-11). They last won more in a top-flight campaign in 1980-81 (13).
  • Wolves have scored 74% of their Premier League goals in the second half of games this season (25/34), a league-high ratio. Only Cardiff (7) have scored fewer goals in the opening 45 minutes than Wolves (9).
  • Wolves have used fewer players than any other Premier League side this season (18). However, only Manchester United (14) have had more different goalscorers than Wolves (13), meaning 72% of their players used have found the net.
  • Bournemouth striker Josh King has scored in his last two Premier League home games, netting three goals in total. He could become just the second Bournemouth player to score in three top-flight home games in a row, after Junior Stanislas in October 2018.

Merson's prediction

Every time Bournemouth stay in the Premier League, you have to say they are doing great for the size of the club and everything. Wolves are going really well at the moment, but I think Bournemouth will nick this game with home advantage.
