AFC Bournemouth visit Leeds United looking for their first win in their last four matches.
Interim manager Gary O'Neil saw his side let a two-goal lead slip against Tottenham Hotspur, but despite the defeat, he remains upbeat about the mood of the club, which sit 14th in the Premier League.
O'Neil also discussed the contributions of Marcus Tavernier as well as providing an update on the status of his injured players.
Here are the key talking points from the Cherries boss.
"We have a clear view on where we are"
Bournemouth have lost their last three matches following a six-game unbeaten run after O'Neil was appointed, but he said the mood in the dressing room hasn't changed despite the recent run of poor results.
"The group is absolutely fine. The fact that three losses have come on the trot doesn't affect what we do; we've played nine Premier League games and been competitive in all of them.
"We've lost the last three, but the performances have been what I expect from the lads over the whole nine games.
"We have a clear view on where we are and what we're trying to achieve and sometimes at this level, losses are going to come in batches. Of course, we want to make sure we get something from the weekend."
"He gives great energy and pace for us"
Despite the defeat to Tottenham, Marcus Tavernier provided his first assist of the season, setting up Kieffer Moore's opener and the Bournemouth manager explained what he contributes to the team.
"He's always had a spring in his step. He's brought loads of energy to us this season, sometimes playing in that wing-back role and sometimes slightly higher.
"He gives great energy and pace for us down the side, and he takes us up the pitch. That final bit is what we work really hard with him on.
"It's important for us when we arrive there [the final third], that we manage to produce some quality. He did that, and we managed to score two great goals."
Team news
O'Neil provided an update on the status of key players and says nothing much has changed.
"We're the same as we were on the injury front."
The gaffer confirmed midfielder David Brooks and defender Lloyd Kelly will miss out.
"I think it comes too quick for Lloyd Kelly and too quickly for David Brooks. Lloyd is making big strides, the World Cup might come too soon for him but we'll have to see on that one."
Goalkeeper Neto is sidelined and won't feature for the Cherries again until the Boxing Day period.
"Neto will miss out on this one and won't play again before the World Cup."
Dominic Solanke is making progress, but his status for Saturday is uncertain.
"Dom was keen to play against Spurs, and we had to leave it quite late to figure out whether he could or couldn't.
"He's been fine since, so we're delighted we managed to get him through the game.
"He's trained well again this week, so Dom is in a good place."
