Bournemouth v Wolves preview: Jackson Tchatchoua aiming for Wolves debut

The £10million signing from Hellas Verona has trained with his new team-mates for the first time this week as he prepares for his first minutes in the Premier League.

Following an opening day 4-0 defeat at home to Manchester City, Wolves head to the south coast tomorrow in desperate need of some momentum as they take on the Cherries.

And Tchatchoua could be set for a debut one way or another, as he battles Ki-Jana Hoever for the right-wing-back spot.

The Dutchman did relatively well against City, despite the heavy defeat, and was able to offer an outlet going forward.

That came after Pereira publicly backed the defender, praised his qualities and said he will stay with the squad this summer.

However, the club have long been seeking a replacement for Nelson Semedo and Tchatchoua finally came through the door this week.

He has had a few days of training leading up to tomorrow's game and Pereira has a decision to make on whether to throw him straight into the action or reward Hoever with another start.

If Tchatchoua does not start, he is likely to be used from the bench as Pereira utilises his pace and attacking qualities.

Another player through the door means someone may need to miss out on the squad and Rodrigo Gomes' place must be under some sort of threat.

There are now five wing-backs for two spaces and it is unlikely all of them will be in the squad tomorrow, meaning someone will be disappointed. 

There is still a chance that Hugo Bueno could leave this summer, but it is not a done deal and if Pereira leaves him out tomorrow that would be very telling.

One thing the head coach must do is find a way to be more threatening up front.

Despite the noise around Newcastle's interest in him, Jorgen Strand Larsen is expected to start up front.

Marshall Munetsi played 90 minutes against City and is liked for his physical attributes and energy, making him a favourite to keep his place.

The other number 10 spot is up for grabs, however. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde did not grab the opportunity with both hands and Pereira could opt for a more direct and experienced attacking threat in new signing Jhon Arias.

Regardless of the team that Pereira puts out, the players must be more competitive and stay in the game against a Bournemouth side that put in a good showing against Liverpool and were unfortunate to lose.

Defender Emmanuel Agbadou, who struggled in pre-season and against City, will need to get back to his best sooner rather than later to bolster Wolves' spine.

In Evanilson he will face a physically imposing striker with an eye for a goal and Agbadou must stand tall.

Antoine Semenyo will likely start on the right and in him David Moller Wolfe will face a fast and dangerous forward-thinking winger.

If Wolves can keep their cool and play their own game, they have quality to hurt Bournemouth and any points would go a long way to appeasing a disillusioned fan base.
