Four wins from the seven games since Christmas has lifted Julen Lopetegui's Wolves away from the relegation zone in recent weeks. They are far from safe, but an ability to pick up vital points from those around them – Southampton, West Ham and Everton are among those victories – is giving them a greater chance of survival.
Struggling Bournemouth are without a league win in seven games – their last victory was a 3-0 drubbing of Everton before the World Cup, and their last win on the road was back in September. A point against Newcastle last weekend was a step in the right direction, but Gary O'Neil needs to start turning things around, fast.
Kick-off is at 3pm GMT. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.
Team news
Pedro Neto has been out since October, but was on the bench for Wolves' win against Southampton last week, and appeared for the U21s midweek – nabbing a goal, too. However, he plays no part in this one.
Manager Julen Lopetegui makes two changes from the win against Southampton, with Adama Traore returning in attack.
Bournemouth's Marcos Senesi suffered a back injury against Newcastle, but is in the starting XI at Molineux.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
International Premier League TV rights
• UK: Sky Sports and BT Sport are the two main players once again, but Amazon also have a slice of the pie in 2022/23.
• USA: NBC Sports Group are the Premier League rights holders, with the Peacock Premium streaming platform showing even more than the 175 games it aired last season. If you pick up a fuboTV subscription for the games not on Peacock Premium, you'll be able to watch every game.
