Bournemouth sacked manager Scott Parker on August 30 following their 9-0 loss to Liverpool at Anfield.
The Cherries are unbeaten in the Premier League in six straight games following Parker’s dismissal and are the only Premier League team to be unbeaten during that stretch.

Interim coach Gary O’Neil has Bournemouth in 10th place. They were 17th when the interim coach took control of the squad. On Wednesday night, Bournemouth face off with Southampton at Dean Court seeking a seventh straight match without a loss.
Southampton are 18th in the standings ahead of round No. 11. The Saints are in terrible form, and rumours are swirling that manager Ralph Hasenhuttl will be sacked during the World Cup break.
The Saints are one point from relegation safety following a 1-1 draw with West Ham on matchday No. 10. The draw ended a five-game losing streak.
The away team won the last three matches between Bournemouth and Southampton. The Saints edged the head-to-head matches between these teams in the last six fixtures, and posted a record of 3W-2D-1L.
Bournemouth took 10 points from the last six games in the Premier League. They scored eight goals and conceded just six times to their last six opponents.
Cherries are unbeaten in four of their five matches at Dean Court this season. They scored just four times in five games at home. However, Bournemouth conceded just four times to opponents at Dean Court.
Southampton took just four points from the last six games in the league. They were outscored 10-4 across the last six games. Southampton are on a three-game losing streak away from St. Mary’s Stadium. They scored just three goals in five away fixtures.
O’Neil has three players on the injury list ahead of the game on Wednesday. Ben Pearson has a knee injury and is a doubt to make the squad. David Brooks will miss the game with a thigh strain, while Lloyd Kelly is out of action with an ankle injury.
Southampton lost six of their last seven away matches in the Premier League. Wednesday’s trip to Dean Court is likely to finish in another defeat for the struggling Saints.
Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke scored his second goal of the season at Fulham in round No. 10. The striker could get on the scoresheet as the Cherries claim a home win.
It should be a close match, with Bournemouth winning 1-0. They conceded just four times in five home games this season.
