Recent Form

The Cherries' form has slumped in recent weeks following a lightning quick start to the season. Eddie Howe's side remain winless in their last four, and will definitely be looking to change their fortunes when they face Huddersfield. 

Before their most recent defeat to Brighton, Huddersfield had put an impressive run of form together, earning seven points from a possible nine, including wins against Wolves and Fulham. Before this improvement in form the Terriers were bottom, now they sit one point above the drop zone in 17th.

With Callum Wilson on fine form at the start of the season, it's hard to imagine the Terriers keeping Bournemouth at bay at the Vitality Stadium.
