Bournemouth vs Sunderland: Premier League preview

When red and white hosted red and black in the height of the autumn, the Cherries led 2-0 after quarter of an hour. Sunderland were undefeated at home and responded quickly.

Enzo Le Fee's goal from the penalty spot left the game in the balance at the break and Bertrand Traore scored in the first minute of the second half. Brian Brobbey won it with 20 minutes to spare.

Regis Le Bris has delivered quite the season for the Wearsiders but they have now lost three matches in a row and drifted out of the top half of the table.

Sunderland won't be alarmed about losing to Arsenal, Liverpool and Fulham but their consolidation has been founded upon their form at the Stadium of Light. Three successive away defeats for the first time this season make for a run Le Bris would like to halt.

Bournemouth hospitality provides a polished experience in the intimate Vitality Stadium. Guests access the Cherry Orchard Restaurant for gourmet three-course dining (even including a breakfast option for early games!), premium padded seating, and a welcome drink. The package also includes half/full-time refreshments and an official programme.

Bournemouth continue to be the Premier League's most modern tale played out in plain view. For better and worse, the Cherries typify the wealth and wisdom required to arrive on the doorstep of European football while more established Champions League and Europa League clubs falter.

They're doing it again, weathering a wobble and dealing with a barrage of big-money sales. It's well documented but it bears repeating now that they've crept back up to eighth on the back of seven matches unbeaten.

It remains to be seen whether Bournemouth can continue to operate among the elite while showing them how to stay sustainable. They could even go to the next level.

The Cherries have never played in major European competition. For almost their entire history, it might as well have been taking place on the moon. If they manage it within 30 years of the Winter Gardens, Iraola will become immortal.

FourFourTwo's prediction
