Iraola on facing O'Neil, Solanke's form and chasing a record

Andoni Iraola has been speaking to the media before Wednesday's Premier League game at Wolves.

Here are the key lines from the Bournemouth boss:

  • There are no new injury concerns but no players who have recently been out will recover in time either.

  • On opponents Wolves: "They are having a very good season and are a bit like us. They are slowly recovering their important players and I expect changes in their line up because of that. We have to be ready to face a very good team."

  • He said "it is just a match to get more points" in response to it being personal facing former Cherries manager Gary O'Neil.

  • More from Iraola on their preparations: "I hope we will be ready because it is going to be another strong fight like it was against Aston Villa."

  • On Dominic Solanke having a chance to win the Golden Boot: "It is going to be difficult because the other forwards are on very good form. But he will try for sure and he is performing very consistently. I am very happy and I am sure he is."

  • He said beating the club's record points tally of 46 "is achievable but it’s going to be difficult because we have to beat strong teams and teams in good form in the last games".
