Cherries boss Eddie Howe gives his thought's ahead of the game at Tranmere:

"Tranmere is always a tough place to go, but we go there in good heart and in a good frame of mind. We don't have a very good record at Prenton Park, so it would be nice to go there and get a result. It's a place where we have had a few disappointments, but now is a great time to try and put that right.

Tranmere have started the season OK and got a great result at Huddersfield last Saturday, so they will be pleased with that and will give us a difficult game.

There can be no getting carried away after the performance last Saturday, we are not in the position where we can be over confident. We have to take every game as it comes and take it in the same manner. We have to be professional and most of all we have to maintain our standards. We believe in the players we have in the squad, but we have to do the basics right in every game. That's what we are focussing on and we go there looking to give a good account of ourselves.

For this season, it's a long trip and we have a lot of travelling in the next few weeks, but it's something we are used to and we are well prepared for the game."
