Bournemouth vs Southampton live stream and match preview
Looking for a Bournemouth vs Southampton live stream? We've got you covered.
Gary O'Neil's side made it six games unbeaten in the Premier League with a 2-2 draw with Fulham on Saturday. Remarkably, Bournemouth are the only team in the division who have not tasted defeat since their 9-0 shellacking by Liverpool at the end of August.
O'Neil has done a magnificent job to make the Cherries harder to beat and more competitive since he replaced Scott Parker as the club's manager. The former midfielder is still in interim charge, but he will surely get the job on a permanent basis once Bournemouth's impending takeover goes through.
Southampton have found points harder to come by of late, although they did pick up one after a 1-1 draw with West Ham at the weekend. That result stopped the rot after four defeats on the bounce, but the Saints find themselves in the bottom three heading into the midweek round of fixtures.
Ralph Hasenhuttl is once again under pressure amid this poor run of form, but the Austrian has a knack of getting out of difficult positions. A win at the Vitality Stadium on Wednesday could kick-start his team's campaign.
Southampton will have to make do without Tino Livramento, Romeo Lavia and Armel Bella-Kotchap for this south coast derby.
Bournemouth will be unable to call upon the services of David Brooks and Lloyd Kelly, but Ben Pearson could be fit enough to return from a knee injury. The 27-year-old is likely to undergo a late fitness test in the run-up to kick-off on Wednesday.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, and FourFourTwo currently recommends:
