A manager-less Bournemouth will take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in a Premier League clash that will see two struggling teams go head-to-head with each other. A poor run of results and a demoralising defeat at the weekend was the end of Scott Parker’s time at Bournemouth. He became the first managerial casualty of the new season. Gary O’Neil will now take temporary charge of Bournemouth as they prepare to face another Premier League struggler. With both sides sitting in the bottom three places, a win on Wednesday night would be massive for either side.

Newly-promoted Bournemouth had a dream start to life in the Premier League when they defeated Aston Villa 2-0 in the opener. However, things took a turn for the worse since then. They lost 4-0 to Manchester City, 3-0 to Arsenal and a whopping 9-0 to Liverpool at the weekend. Soon Parker was relieved of the managerial role at the Vitality Stadium. Wolverhampton Wanderers would like to take advantage of their opponents’ managerial crisis, however, they are also on a poor run of form. Wolves have managed just two points from four games and are yet to win a single match this campaign in the league.

It is unlikely that Gary O’Neil will make wholesale changes to the Starting XI. Most of the players that were part of Scott Parker’s side will likely retain their starting place. Dominic Solanke’s return from injury will be a big boost for the home team. However, there are still question marks over the participation of Ben Pearson and Lloyd Kelly. Meanwhile, Wolves came very close to securing all three points against Newcastle in the last match. Hence their manager might more or less name the same playing XI.
Bournemouth possible line-up: Travers, Smith, Mepham, Senesi, Zemura, Cook, Lerma, Anthony, Christie, Tavernier, Solanke
Wolverhampton Wanderers possible line-up: Sa, Semedo, Collins, Kilman, Ait-Nouri, Dendoncker, Neves, Moutinho, Podence, Neto, Jimenez
