ANDONI Iraola insists the narrative at Molineux tomorrow should be about the fight for league positions, and not a personal battle with Wolves head coach Gary O’Neil.

Eyebrows were raised when Iraola was hired to replace O’Neil as Cherries boss last summer.

Things have worked out well for both since, Cherries and Wolves sitting comfortably in mid-table of the Premier League, with just one point between them.

“For us it’s just a match where we have chances to get more points,” said Iraola, when asked about facing O’Neil.

“We have a very difficult schedule in the last games of the season.

“We have to try to take every opportunity we have.

“We face a team that is very close to us and obviously it is always important. We are fighting for positions and that is the important thing from the game I would say.

“I think both seasons have been very good, for both clubs. But we still haven’t finished. We want to finish strong and finish with good sensations, looking also for next season.

“Now it is has been difficult preparation, with just two days and travelling twice.

“I hope we are ready again for tomorrow, because it is going to be another strong fight, like the Villa one.”

Discussing his thoughts on Wolves, Iraola added: “I think they are having a very good season, probably like us.

“The last results haven’t been on their side. But I think they are slowly recovering the important players for them.

“I expect some changes in their lineup, because I think they will recover some important players. We have to be ready to face a very good team.”

Iraola also confirmed Cherries are set to travel with the same squad to Wolves as they did for Sunday’s game at Aston Villa. That means they are still without Luis Sinisterra, Marcus Tavernier, Chris Mepham, Romain Faivre, Tyler Adams and Ryan Fredericks.

“We are in the same situation we were 30 hours before,” said Iraola.

“We don’t lose anyone, we don’t recover anyone, so it’s going to be the same players available. We will have to choose from there.”
