Round 26 of the EFL Championship comes to an end at the Vitality Stadium, where Bournemouth lock horns with Peterborough United on Monday.
The visitors head into the game without a win over the hosts in their last three encounters and will be looking to end this dry spell.
Bournemouth picked up their second consecutive win last Thursday as they comfortably saw off Cardiff City 3-0 on home turf.
This followed a 1-0 victory over a resilient QPR side which saw their six-game winless run come to an end.
Bournemouth currently sit at the summit of the EFL Championship table, after picking up 49 points from 25 games.
Meanwhile, after seeing their last two games called off due to several COVID-19 cases, Peterborough United will take to the pitch for the first time in 16 days on Monday.
Darren Ferguson’s men were denied a second win on the trot in their last outing as they fell to a 3-1 defeat against Blackpool.
With 19 points from 23 games, Peterborough United are currently 22nd on the log, two points behind Reading just outside the relegation zone.
