Bournemouth v West Brom
Bournemouth and West Brom will both be looking to end the campaign on an encouraging note when they meet at Dean Court on Saturday.

The Cherries have now lost their last three in a row, and five of their last six. The south-coast club has successfully survived their first season in the Premier League, but will be looking to add another win to their tally after beating Albion 2-1 earlier in the campaign.

The Baggies will also be happy to have successfully dodged the drop for another year, and find themselves level on 41 points with their hosts for Saturday.

However, Tony Pulis' men have now failed to win in their last seven league games, including five defeats, a worrying run of results that they will want to cut short in the penultimate match of the season.

In team news, the home team have confirmed that Adam Smith (hernia) is ruled out, along with Sylvain Distin (back injury).

For the visitors, midfielders Alex Pritchard (hip/thigh) and James Morrison (hamstring) are doubts, while Pulis stated his intention to give youth a chance, with Jonathan Leko, Sam Field and Tyler Roberts all hoping to get a run.
