David Wagner will be hoping his side can pull out of the relegation zone as they welcome in-form Bournemouth to the John Smith’s Stadium. The Cherries have stormed up the league in recent weeks, picking up famous wins over Arsenal and Chelsea but Eddie Howe will be keen to avoid any complacency from his team going into this one.

BournemouthHuddersfield Town
The Terriers have slipped into the relegation zone in the Premier League and they are currently 19th in the standings, with only 24 points to their name. David Wagner’s men have only won twice in 2018 – both against Championship opposition in the FA Cup and their league form needs to improve dramatically. Goals have seemingly been hard to come by all season for Huddersfield with Steve Mounie the club’s leading goal scorer with 6 goals this term.
Bournemouth
The Cherries are in fine form in the Premier League and are unbeaten in their last 7 league matches as they look to stretch away from the relegation zone – with back to back wins over Chelsea and Stoke to boot. Their FA Cup defeat to Wigan is the only blotch on their copy book in 2018 as Eddie Howe’s men sit 9th in the table with 31 points and Premier League safety looks a very achievable goal currently. Callum Wilson tops the scoring charts for the Cherries with 8 goals so far this campaign and has been mooted as a potential future England striker.
Head to Head
Huddersfield hold the superior head to head record in this fixture – leading by 18 wins to Bournemouth’s 14 with an additional 18 draws being played out between the two sides. Their previous meeting back in November was a goal fest as the Cherries thumped the Terriers 4-0 thanks to a Harry Arter strike and a Callum Wilson hat-trick.
