West Brom vs Bournemouth preview: Cherries hoping to continue fine form

A look ahead to the Premier League fixture at The Hawthorns

It’s a big game for...

Saido Berahino: The 21-year-old caught the eye of England manager Roy Hodgson and potential suitors last season with his 20 goals and eye-catching performances. But recently his appearances have been restricted to from the substitute’s bench. If Berahino is to earn himself a chance of making the England Squad for France next summer he needs to return as a regular starter in Pulis’ team and get himself back amongst the goals at the Hawthorns.

Best stat…

West Brom have conceded the most goals at home in the premier league this season (14)

Remember when….

Callum Wilson 86th minute winner gives Bournemouth a famous victory in the Capital one Cup against West Brom at The Vitality Stadium in October.

Player to watch…

Joshua King: After scoring the winner against his former club Manchester United last weekend the Norwegian forward will head to the Hawthorns exuding confidence and hoping to make it three wins from three for the Cherries. The pace of King and Junior Stanislas is sure to cause problems to a West Brom defence who haven’t kept a clean sheet at home for 2months
