Dugout Discussion – Bournemouth vs Southampton

The first of three Sunday afternoon fixtures gets underway at the Vitality Stadium as Bournemouth entertain Southampton in the 1.30pm kick-off.

Eddie Howe’s side have chalked up four clean sheets in eight matches in front of their own fans, with Charlie Daniels and Steve Cook heading into Gameweek 17 amongst the top seven scoring Fantasy Premier League defenders.

The out of position Adam Smith has also piqued our interest on the right flank, while Nathan Ake budget price tag made him the number one defender for transfers in ahead of the weekend.

Up against a Saints side with three goals in the last seven Gameweeks, Howe’s defence could plunder the points once again.

Bearing in mind that Southampton have served up four clean sheets in the previous five, goals may be hard to come by in this one.

Owners of Cedric Soares will be relieved as the right-back recovers from illness to return to Claude Puel’s starting XI.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

        Unless Cook is benched, he won't be fitted into the defence anymore

              4-3-3 is Puel's preferred system, agree Tadic should be starting yes in that front 3. Reed, Højbjerg and Clause are a very lightweight midfield trio though, Romeu should be starting.

              Doesn't help that Saints don't have a decent striker who can score goals atm. 🙁

            Modern warfare is fantastic, I like how they didn't change it to begin with but have done so by bringing in a few small updates now.

        Kelechi Iheanacho is bet365’s 5/1 (6.00) favourite to open the scoring for Pep Guardiola’s men in the Argentine’s absence..

          This is routine with bookies, they release odds way before line-ups. Doesn't take in to account whether players will start or not.

            e.g Lucas Perez and Giroud are joint 2nd favourite to score for Arsenal, though neither will start (probably).
