AFC Bournemouth are clinging on to their Premier League status, with south coast rivals Southampton FC visiting the Vitality Stadium this weekend.

The Cherries must win here before a result against Everton on the final day of the season.

Eddie Howe’s side rallied late at Manchester City, so there is a small amount of momentum carrying over here with David Brooks’s goal.

Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side have a slim chance of a top-half finish still, while Danny Ings, on 20 goals, will still hope to snatch the golden boot off Jamie Vardy, who has 23 goals.

Here is our prediction for the game.
