Bournemouth are enjoying a stunning season, sitting sixth in the table, but had a disappointing result on Saturday, beaten 1-0 at home by Wolves.The Cherries are still battling for an unlikely Champions League spot, though, only one point behind Manchester City and Newcastle who sit fourth and fifth.Brighton won the reverse fixture in November, picking up an impressive 2-1 win at Bournemouth.
