Bournemouth vs Wolves: Preview, predictions and lineups | OneFootball

Bournemouth welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to the Vitality Stadium for the second weekend running, with the two sides facing off in the FA Cup fifth round.

Vitor Pereira's side claimed a 1-0 win down on the south coast last Saturday to bolster their survival hopes, although they were aided by Illia Zabarnyi's first half sending off. Matheus Cunha scored soon after, and the visitors had few issues seeing the contest out.

However, they were unable to build on that victory in midweek as Fulham recorded a 2-1 win at Molineux. Bournemouth, meanwhile, were beaten 2-1 at Brighton despite Justin Kluivert's stunning strike.

The Cherries have downed West Brom and Everton to reach this stage of the competition, and are now hunting their third-ever FA Cup quarter-final berth. Wolves reached the last eight last season before losing in stunning circumstances to Coventry. The visitors have beaten Blackburn and Bristol City so far.

Here is 90min's guide to the FA Cup tie.

Bournemouth team news

Ryan Christie has been crucial in Bournemouth's rise this term, but he was forced off in the first half at Brighton on Tuesday and is a doubt to feature this weekend.

Zabarnyi is still suspended after last week's red card, while Julian Araujo, Marcos Senesi, Enes Unal and Adam Smith are all out injured. Lewis Cook will continue at the heart of the Cherries' defence.

On a brighter note, Evanilson made his return from a broken foot off the bench in the week and should make his first FA Cup appearance this weekend. Dango Ouattara will likely continue in Iraola's starting XI, however.

Bournemouth predicted lineup vs Wolves

Bournemouth predicted lineup vs Wolves (4-2-3-1): Kepa; Cook, Hill, Huijsen, Kerkez; Scott, Adams; Tavernier, Kluivert, Sinisterra; Ouattara.

Rayan Ait-Nouri was fit enough to get through 90 minutes on Tuesday having been on the receiving end of Zabarnyi's red card-worthy challenge last week. The silky Algerian wing-back will continue down Wolves' left on Saturday.

Pereira deployed strong starting XI's in the previous two rounds, and that certainly won't change this weekend. However, there could be a change between the sticks with Sam Johnstone coming in for number one Jose Sa.

Leon Chiwone, Yerson Mosquera, Enso Gonzalez, Sasa Kalajdzic, Rodrigo Gomes, Goncalo Guedes, Hwang Hee-chan and Emmanuel Agbadou are all injured.

Wolves predicted lineup vs Bournemouth (3-4-2-1): Johnstone; Doherty, Toti, Bueno; Semedo, Andre, Gomes, Ait-Nouri; Cunha, Munetsi; Strand Larsen.

Wolves will be emboldened by their victory at the Vitality last week, even if they were beaten on Tuesday by Fulham. Goals conceded at the start of both halves proved to be their undoing.

Bournemouth didn't enjoy their February after dazzling in January, and Iraola will once again have to deploy an undermanned backline which the likes of Cunha and Jorgen Strand Larsen should exploit.

However, this Wolves defence isn't to be trusted, especially without impactful new signing Agbadou, and the hosts will be keen to avenge last week's defeat. It's been a while since Bournemouth enjoyed a cup run, but this may well be their year.
