EDDIE Howe is an admirer of Wolves’ individual talents – but the Cherries boss says the team is the threat he will be focusing on.
Joao Moutinho has registered five assists in his past four league outings and fellow Portugal international Ruben Neves has attracted plenty of praise for his displays this season.
Previewing tomorrow’s Premier League clash (3pm), Howe said: “They have some very good technical players and that definitely helps the way they play.
“There is a real team ethic there and a real team unity. I very much think it is the team which is the strength.”
Wolves have no new injury worries and could revert to the line-up which drew 1-1 with Newcastle in the Premier League.
Patricio and Neves are likely to be handed recalls following the 1-0 FA Cup win at Bristol City while Diogo Jota has recovered from a dead leg.
Put to him that Cherries would be without injured duo David Brooks and Callum Wilson, Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo said: “Bournemouth have a fantastic squad and, for sure, Eddie will find other solutions. It is always a strong XI.”
