Sunderland full-back Billy Jones is booked for bringing down Charlie Daniels. This is going badly for Dick Advocaat's men so far. They are currently bottom of the table.

Home side on top, but it's really quiet inside the Vitality Stadium. You'd have thought there would be a party atmosphere with how their side are playing at the moment.

It may be because they know Sunderland still have plenty of time to come back into this game. Jeremain Lens whips in a cross which Artur Boruc easily claims.

Callum Wilson is really giving Sunderland stand-in skipper Younes Kaboul a torrid time this afternoon, using his strength to shield the ball before turning inside and out. The Frenchman has to concede a free-kick and further positive signs for the home side.

Jordi Gomez whips in a low free-kick trying to catch out Artur Boruc at the front post. He nearly succeeds from a tight angle, hitting the post although the Polish stopper had it covered.

It gets worse for the visitors. Sebastian Coates is booked for hauling down the Bournemouth front man Callum Wilson. Walking on a tightrope for the rest of the game now. What are the odds on him seeing an early red?

Bournemouth look like scoring every time they go forward, the Sunderland backline is all over the place. Eddie Howe's men are in complete control of this game and we could get four or five here.

"Those are the sorts of goals that bring a smile to your face - a great goal!"

Bournemouth's second goal was a thing of beauty, and their first wasn't bad either. This is what it looked like, with Simon Francis and Dan Gosling combining to feed Callum Wilson.

Wilson now has five Premier League goals, and is probably thinking he can add to his tally after seeing some of Sunderland's defending so far.

The home side are all over Sunderland at the moment. If they can get another quickly, this game could soon be over. The Black Cats defence is looking very, very nervous. Can Bournemouth extend their advantage?

Final Score

"The way in which Wilson spins Kaboul is scary. He's a striker right on top of his game. If you're to be a forward in the Premier League you have to be able to play with your back to goal. This lad can do it."

Bournemouth moving the ball well early on, but pressure on a Sunderland defence containing Sebastian Coates and Younes Kaboul at the centre of it. No efforts on goal so far.

Lights out, go go go!

We are under way at the Vitality Stadium.

Teams are out going through the usual pre-match stuff. The sun on the south coast is shining, the pitch looks in pristine condition and the supporters are in fine voice.

Let's hope the football today is as glorious as the weather. Kick-off is a few minutes away.

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe had plenty of praise for former Cherries loanee Jermain Defoe, saying he is the best finisher he has worked with.

Howe was playing for Bournemouth in 2000-01 when Defoe scored 18 goals in 27 starts in the old Division Two.

Bournemouth host Defoe's Sunderland on Saturday and are yet to record a home win or a clean sheet in their maiden season in the top flight.

"We don't want to give him any chances because he is the best finisher that I have worked with," Howe said.

Since staying up, Sunderland have forgotten to get out of bed, but we all know how this ends.

Struggle all season, then put a run together in April before clinging on to survive.

Easy.

In case you missed the team news earlier, Sunderland skipper John O'Shea misses out today through illness.
