If Andoni Iraola carries on like this and gets Bournemouth into European competition then it could be a sad situation.

If the likes of Tottenham got rid of Ange Postecoglou they might be interested in him, and I don't even think it is too big to say the likes of Arsenal might be too. If Mikel Arteta doesn't get trophies then someone like Iraola could be on Arsenal's hit list.

The job he has done at Bournemouth with the players he has, no disrespect to them, is incredible.

Crystal Palace

After setting a club record by winning four consecutive away league games, Oliver Glasner said: "Every single win was deserved. It's not that we were lucky at all.

"The players did well. It was great commitment from them to get the results."

Palace have six victories and four draws in their 13 away games but have only won twice at Selhurst Park.

Asked why they have failed to replicate their away form at home, Glasner added: "We would lead the league table if we also win every game at home.

"It is the Premier League. Every game is decided by two or three chances."

Wolves

Wolves manager Vitor Pereira says Saturday's win at Bournemouth was important, but he expects his team to approach this match against Fulham with the same mentality.

"It was good but the most important is the next one," he said. "The next one is against Fulham and it's very important for us. I expect our best version.

"We can improve a lot of things; scoring goals when we get opportunities and defending well because this is a very good team with a very good coach. They have been working together for the past three years, they are consistent and have very good players.

"But we must look at ourselves and compete to get the three points."

Pereira said he has found more leaders within his squad since his appointment in December.

"If we have leaders in the team, we [as coaches] don't need to be on the scene all the time" he said.

"I like to give to my players confidence and organisation to solve the problems between themselves. When the problem comes to me, it means they didn't solve the problem. But if you have leaders, it's easier to command, for my leadership it's easier. And we have these kinds of players in our team."

I have always thought that Wolves were going to be OK. They have got far too much quality in the side. They are looking good. They are looking solid, and they look like they have turned a corner with the new manager.

And Matheus Cunha has been unbelievable. He is scoring some amazing goals and is pretty much carrying the team in the sense of the attacking output.

Chelsea have got to pick up.

They have had a decline and I would expect them to win tonight. But from their point of view, I think they have got to.

Filip Jorgensen let in a poor goal in the last minute at Aston Villa and I really felt for him. It cost them a point. And up until that point in the game I thought he had played really well.

It is never ideal when a manager keeps rotating. You never quite know where you stand. I feel sympathy for him, it's tough.

Matheus Cunha is the key to their [Wolves] success.

He is an exceptional talent, he is not just a good player for a team down at the bottom of the league.

He scores a variety of goals, he can go both sides, and he's someone who can run off the ball.

It is going to be difficult for him doing it all on his own. When he's contributing the way he is, the players will do more of the work off the ball.

Fulham

Fulham boss Marco Silva, speaking to TNT Sports about making five changes to his squad: "Some different reasons. We played last Saturday and some of the players are not going to start tonight. They went through December and January - tough months.

"We have to manage the players in the best possible way."

On Ryan Sessegnon starting his first Premier League game this season: "First that he can show his quality. He is a player who gives us different solutions, quality player.

"He had some good games in both cups, it is different to start a Premier League game, but he knows he has the trust from all the staff."

Wolves

Wolves boss Vitor Pereira, speaking to TNT Sports: "We face a good team, a strong squad, but with the energy of our supporters we will be able to fight for the three points, for sure."

On not changing the squad: "Yes, we can improve from the last game, but we didn't have time to prepare for the game. We just recover and try to be in the best conditions for today."

On confidence improving: "I think in this moment we have tactical consistency and mentally. Mentally, we are stronger than before.

"Important match because the points in this moment are important."

Aston Villa

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery says his team must find more consistency if they are to achieve their aim of qualifying for Europe this season.

He said: "It depends on how we are responding. The league is progressing and the matches are becoming less, so we have to recover [the points] that we lost.

"But we are positive and we are more or less trying to be strong again, astute tactically and mentally. We did business in the transfer window and we need time to recover players.

"Each day and match is a test."

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner, speaking to TNT Sports: "Very strong Aston Villa side. They're challenging for Champions League positions. A very good team and a great manager.

"We have skills in our team that can help us to win the game."

On past home form: "The performances were OK at home. We made one or two many mistakes and we got punished - it is the quality of the players. Today, it will be important to not give them any chances."

Bournemouth

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola speaking to TNT Sports: "We don't want to make the change but we trust James Hill 100 per cent and he has the level and I hope he shows that level today.

"Even now, watching these teams, Brighton have been brilliant away. Everything is more levelled and I hope we start with personality.

"They are playing very well. They are one of the best teams in the league and we have to be ready for a big fight and hopefully we can take something from here. We want to have the points today, especially after losing at home and we need to recover those points somewhere."

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler speaking to TNT Sports: "Every player who comes back helps us. Pervis [Estupinian] is a very good player and we are really confident. We are very happy that he is back.

"He can play very intense and is very good at winning the second balls and is good in possession. I think he deserves it.

"Bournemouth are in good form and they play very intense. We expect a very physical and intense game and their attackers all have the talent to decide the game. We have to act as a team.

"We have to prove it today ourselves and push our limits to have a chance."

At the weekend playing against Wolves the game flipped with the sending off.

Three games in a week is a big test, but with lots of injuries they've still maintained the amazing form.

They're a top team with a top manager playing with great intensity.

They are a team that are like a machine and run over teams and can they maintain that for the rest of the season?

If they can do that, they will be in the shake-up for Europe.

Former Premier League goalkeeper Paul Robinson says "there is a lot being made about the drop in form of Cole Palmer" but Chelsea fans should be looking closer at the rest of the team and manager Enzo Maresca.

"There has been a lack of goals, lack of assists and goal involvements from him, but you need more from the rest of the team," Robinson said on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club.

"I have to look at Enzo Maresca because at one stage Leicester were 17 points clear at the top of the Championship last season and they surrendered it. By the end of April they were third, so it does suggests there is a drop-off with his teams after Christmas.

"It may be a complete coincidence but the same thing has happened now at Chelsea."

Chris Sutton
BBC Sport football expert

Chelsea have looked very flat in recent weeks and ended up being beaten by Aston Villa on Saturday after taking the lead.

Enzo Maresca's side are desperate to get back to winning ways so this is the perfect game for them - you could not ask for more of an open goal at the moment than playing Southampton at home.

Saints will give Chelsea the chance to find their rhythm again and I don't see them keeping them out.

I must say every week how dismal this season has been for Southampton fans, and probably the only thing they have to look forward to at the moment is the prospect of a day out in Norwich next season when they are back in the Championship.

Sutton's prediction: 2-0

Chelsea

Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo, speaking to TNT Sports: "We took a tough result [against Aston Villa], but we're here today to bounce back and get a good three points."

On Filip Jorgensen's mistake against Aston Villa: "Filip is great. Every player has been supporting him. We are looking to bounce back today. Everyone makes big mistakes."

On facing Southampton: "These games are never easy. They're games you have to be 100% focused. They're fighting relegation, so it is going to be a tough game."
