Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola replaced Gary O’Neil in the dugout ahead of the 2023-24 season but is yet to secure a win in the Premier League with his new side. The Cherries have drawn three of their five fixtures, including their last two matches against Brentford and Chelsea, losing to Tottenham and Liverpool. They are currently just one place and two points above the relegation zone and could drop into the bottom three if they lose and Sheffield United beat Newcastle later today. Bournemouth’s only win this season came in the second round of the EFL Cup against Swansea City.

Brighton have had an impressive start to the Premier League season and have won four of their five matches. The Seagulls have scored three or more goals in each of their victories, beating Luton Town, Wolves, Newcastle and Manchester United. Their only league defeat came in a home match against West Ham, with goals from James Ward-Prowse, Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio helping the Hammers to a deserved 3-1 victory. Roberto De Zerbi’s men will be looking to return to winning ways after losing to AEK Athens in the Europa League during the week. They have triumphed in three of their last four fixtures against Bournemouth (drawing once) after a 10-game winless run against the Cherries between 2010 and 1019 (drawing four and losing six).
