MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head
  • Bournemouth have won five of the 10 Premier League meetings. They've only beaten Everton more often in the division (seven times).
  • Brighton have lost four of their five Premier League visits to Vitality Stadium. The exception was a 2-0 win in April last year.
Bournemouth
  • Bournemouth are seeking a fourth consecutive top-flight home win, which would be an outright club record.
  • They are six places and nine points better off than at the same stage of last season.
  • This is Andoni Iraola's 50th Premier League game in charge. He has 17 wins, 12 draws and 20 defeats.
  • Evanilson can become the second player to score in four successive Premier League fixtures for Bournemouth, emulating Callum Wilson from August to September 2019.
Albion
  • Brighton's total of 19 points after 11 matches represents their best start to a top-flight season.
  • Nonetheless, the Seagulls have won only four of their past 22 away league fixtures (D7, L11).
  • Albion have had an unrivalled 11 different goalscorers in the Premier League this season, excluding own goals.
  • Danny Welbeck needs one goal to become Brighton's joint-record Premier League scorer alongside Pascal Gross, who scored 30 times.
  • Welbeck has already equalled his best return for Brighton of six league goals in a season. His career-best tally is nine Premier League goals for Manchester United in both 2011-12 and 2013-14.
  • Joao Pedro has been directly involved in six goals in his last eight Premier League appearances, scoring four and setting up two.

Hopefully be a decent game, Muff are doing ok and playing decent under Iraola but with Christie suspended for 5 yellows and Semenyo, Kluivert and Senesi all on 4, shows that they're not afraid to get stuck in.

Still, with Stuart (No Penalty At Spurs for Mitoma) Atwell as Ref and Constantine (Elbow To The Face) Hatzidakis as Lino we're bound to have no issues. At least the 4th official is Graham Scott who hasn't denied us a stonewall penalty. Well apart from Maupay at Norwich but that doesn't count.
