Wolves face Bournemouth for the second time in a week when the sides meet in the FA Cup’s fifth round today.
Vitor Pereira’s side secured an important 1-0 in on the south coast in the Premier League a week ago and now return to the Vitality Stadium. A home loss to Fulham dented momentum, but Wolves have shown signs of improvement of late.

Ahead of the game, Pereira called winning the FA Cup a ‘dream’ but outlined his confidence in his team. Wolves have not lifted the FA Cup since 1960.
Bournemouth are searching for their first-ever major trophy. The Cherries are in the midst of an impressive campaign under Andoni Iraola and sit seventh in the table.
