Bournemouth will attempt to equal a club record when they welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to the Vitality Stadium for Sunday’s Premier League contest.
Andoni Iraola‘s side edged out Wolverhampton Wanderers in midweek to bring an end to a three-game winless run.
Antoine Semenyo scored what proved to be the decisive goal to ensure his team left Molineux with all three points.
Bournemouth will now return to the Vitality Stadium, where they have put together a five-game unbeaten run since losing to Manchester City in February.
Bournemouth began their fine run of home form with a 2-2 draw against Sheffield United, before they recorded three consecutive victories over Luton Town, Everton and Crystal Palace.

Bournemouth out to equal unbeaten home record
In their most recent home game, the South Coast side gave up the lead on two occasions to draw 2-2 with Manchester United.
As a result of that run of form, Bournemouth now have the chance to equal a club record of six consecutive top-flight home games without defeat.
The current record was set in 2018 when the Cherries claimed wins over Swansea City, Cardiff City, Leicester City and Crystal Palace as well as drawing games against Everton and Southampton
Having picked up 45 points from 34 matches, Bournemouth are also on the brink of breaking their record points total for a single Premier League season
The Cherries need just two points from their final four matches to break the current record of 46 set in the 2016-17 season.

Solanke targeting milestone
Having scored 18 goals in 34 league appearances, Dominic Solanke has already set the record for the most goals scored by a Bournemouth player in a single Premier League season.
With nine of those strikes taking place on home turf, Solanke now has the chance to become the first Bournemouth player to net 10 home goals in a top-flight campaign.
Solanke will be looking to play a key role as Bournemouth go in search of their first win over Brighton since January 2020.
The Cherries have lost each of their previous three head-to-head meetings, including a 3-1 defeat in September’s reverse fixture.
