Bournemouth v Burnley: match preview

Bournemouth v Burnley
Bournemouth v Burnley: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Both sides were tipped for relegation but Bournemouth can secure their highest ever finish in the club’s 118-year history with a point against Burnley and Sean Dyche’s side have already guaranteed their best finish since 1975. However, Eddie Howe will surely be looking for three points to aid their bid for a top-half finish and with the prolific Joshua King starting they have a great chance. Graham Searles
