The Cherries On Top
Bournemouth recorded a club record 8-0 victory away to Birmingham at the weekend and will strongly fancy their chances of reaching the last eight of the League Cup.
After an 8-0 away victory at Birmingham City at the weekend, Bournemouth really have to be snapped up at best odds of 6/4 (Betfred) to beat West Brom in the 4th round of the Capital One Cup.
Eddie Howe’s up and coming side have roared into promotion contention in the Championship over recent weeks having won four games in a row and 6 of their last 7 fixtures across all competitions.
Alan Irvine knows that top flight survival is the priority for West Brom again this season and the Scot will have one eye on the weekend trip to Leicester - a potential six-pointer.
That means the Baggies’ starting line-up will be rotated for this competition again; it’s a formula which resulted in a narrow penalty shoot-out victory over League 2 strugglers Oxford back in August. That WBA performance could hardly have been less convincing and the Cherries should be the ones to progress at Dean Court.
