Bournemouth
The "Cherries" finished 12th in the league last season, which is a solid achievement for a club of their stature. Over the summer, Bournemouth sold Dominic Solanke for a substantial sum and used the funds to strengthen their squad with signings such as Enes Ünal, Luis Sinisterra, Evanilson, and Dean Heisen.
In their opening two matches of the new season, Bournemouth drew 1-1 against Nottingham Forest and Newcastle. After a League Cup loss to West Ham, they managed a 3-2 away victory against Everton. However, following the international break, Bournemouth lost two consecutive matches, falling 1-0 to Chelsea and 3-0 to Liverpool.
Southampton
The "Saints" returned to the Premier League after successfully navigating the playoffs. Southampton defeated West Brom in the semi-finals (3-1 on aggregate) and secured promotion with a narrow victory over Leeds in the final. Over the summer, they worked hard to strengthen their squad, but results have yet to follow.
In their first four Premier League matches, Southampton suffered losses to Newcastle (0-1), Nottingham Forest (0-1), Brentford (1-3), and Manchester United (0-3). They only secured their first point last weekend, drawing 1-1 with Ipswich Town after a last-minute equalizer in the 95th minute.
