Bournemouth’s first of two must-win games kicks off on Sunday as the Cherries welcome Southampton to the Vitality Stadium for the penultimate round of fixtures.
The Cherries are three points adrift of safety while Southampton are comfortably in mid-table with two games remaining.
Bournemouth are running out of time to avoid a first ever relegation from the Premier League, with their five-year stint in the top flight under serious threat at this very late stage of the campaign. The Cherries were given a glimmer of hope as they trounced Champions League hopefuls Leicester City 4-1 last weekend, but Eddie Howe’s men were brought crashing back down to earth in midweek as Manchester City inflicted a 2-1 defeat on them on Wednesday.
Howe’s men gave it a real good go against last season’s champions, but David Brooks’s late strike proved nothing more than a mere consolation for the Cherries despite their plucky showing at the Etihad, as first-half goals from Gabriel Jesus and David Silva did the damage early on. The Saints have now strung together a five-game unbeaten run in the league and have been assured of their safety for some time now, but Hasenhuttl will no doubt want to get another three points on the board regardless of whatever permutations the game may have.
