Wolverhampton Wanderers travel to the south coast to take on Bournemouth on Wednesday evening in a match what is looking like a must-win for the gold and black.
Bruno Lage’s men are still without a victory in the Premier League this season and though the Cherries do have a win to their name - a 2-0 win versus Aston Villa on the opening day - they have since gone on to lose every game with an aggregate scoreline of 16-0.

Bournemouth manager Scott Parker was relieved of his duties on Tuesday morning and whilst that could have a positive or negative affect on the home side, Wolves should have more than enough in the tank to get a victory here.
Here’s the eleven that BirminghamWorld believe Lage will go with to make sure that’s the case.
GK - Jose Sa
Number one, firmly.
RB - Nelson Semedo
Played well against Newcastle United and has probably earned another start here.
CB - Max Kilman
Kilman has been near faultless in the opening stages of the season.
CB - Nathan Collins

Like Kilman, has been great and the two have a great partnership.
LB - Jonny
Once again showed his versatility by moving across to left-back versus the Magpies. Expecting similar here.
CM - Matheus Nunes
Has shown flashes of brilliance in his first few appearances. Time to really shine here.
CM - Ruben Neves
First name on the team-sheet. That strike against Newcastle too, phwoar.
CM - Joao Moutinho

Will likely start but minutes will start being managed soon.
RW - Pedro Neto
Continues to be linked with Arsenal but whilst he’s a Wolves player he should be starting. Unlucky to not get an assist vs Newcastle.
ST - Raul Jimenez
And unlucky not to be the man scoring Neto’s assist after it was ruled out! Has a big opportunity to get in the goals here though.
LW - Goncalo Guedes
Looking better as he continues to get more minutes. Like the other players - a great chance to get his stat line up against a Bournemouth team that have just shipped nine.
