West Bromwich Albion v Bournemouth: match preview

West Bromwich Albion v Bournemouth
West Bromwich Albion v Bournemouth: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Bournemouth have shrugged off their injury crisis and have shown excellent spirit to beat Chelsea and Manchester United consecutively. Eddie Howe will not be daunted by visiting The Hawthorns after such great results but Tony Pulis will have prepared West Brom accordingly to try to halt their progression. The fact the visitors concede more than two goals per game on the road could prove a telling statistic. Graham Searles
