Bournemouth host West Brom this Saturday afternoon and their manager Eddie Howe will be desperate to record their first win of the season.

Tony Pulis will be hoping his team can claim all three points amidst the doubts over his future at the club.

It’s a big game for…

Jordon Ibe. Having only made 15 appearances for Liverpool last season, it seemed £15 million was a lot to pay for an unproven, inexperienced winger.

Yet, Howe must have seen something he likes in Ibe's direct style of play that he feels will help Bournemouth in their fight to stay in the Premier League.

Best stat…

Both Bournemouth and West Brom splashed out this transfer window, with both clubs breaking their transfer record fees to attract new players, in the hope of avoiding relegation this season.

Howe's team paid £15.3 million to sign midfielder Jordon Ibe from Liverpool, whilst the Baggies paid £13 to bring former Tottenham player Nacer Chadli to the club.

Remember when…

Artur Boruc pulled off this incredible double save to deny Craig Gardener twice. The first save coming from gardener's penalty and then Boruc showed amazing reflexes to keep the rebound out.

Player to watch…

Jack Wilshere. The Arsenal loanee has made a big decision to go chose to go to Bournemouth for his loan spell, having had the option to go to Italian giants Roma or AC Milan.

Eddie Howe will be hoping Wilshere can bring that extra quality to his side and get them their first win of the season. As for Wilshere himself, he will be determined to show the football world that he truly is a top quality player.
