Bournemouth boss Gary O'Neil says there'll be no underestimating Southampton tomorrow.

The Cherries remain in danger of being sucked back into the relegation battle.

O'Neil said, "It'll be a big challenge. They've made big improvements since the new head coach took over. They've improved.

"They're not really in relegation form since he's taken the job. I think they have nine points from nine games, so a decent return.

"High energy, front-foot, aggressive, had some good results, fantastic performance at Arsenal and result."

On the challenge ahead, he added: “It's not like we're going to a team that are losing every week and have been rooted to the bottom of the table because they're in terrible form.

"They're putting in some real good performances, picking up some good results. So, it'll be a real tough test. If anyone is in any doubt then I can assure them it'll be a really tough game for us on Thursday."
