The visit of Burnley gives Bournemouth an opportunity to climb the league again and that is all the players should be thinking of. There's no place for negative thoughts, but the reality is that a defeat will put Bournemouth bang back in trouble.
The league table is still tight, but with just four points separating Bournemouth from the relegation zone a win might change the outlook for the rest of December with Bournemouth climbing a few places. Burnley will be looking to ruffle the Cherries up and it is important that Bournemouth's payers stand up to it. Lerma and Billing have to play their powerful football and try and get Bournemouth pushing on to Burnley rather than taking a back seat and reacting to Burnley trying to spray long balls into Bournemouth's half.
Winning the knock downs and meaty challenges will show Burnley that Bournemouth are not going to allow them any time on the ball. If Burnley are hurried they will be more likely to make mistakes, and so it's important that Bournemouth look to play a fast game against a side that will be pleased if they can bring the game down to set-pieces and dead ball situations.
Getting three points is the ultimate prize and a back-to-back win will really change the picture of where Bournemouth could take their season. Breaking the 20 point barrier will encourage the team to push on further, as they'll know the number of wins they need to get to safety will be coming down at a much better rate than it had been over the last eight weeks. Let's cheer them on today, UTCIAD!
