Work to do

Gary O’Neil insists Bournemouth cannot afford to rest on their laurels after last night’s 1-0 win at Southampton. 

The Cherries head to Leeds on Sunday knowing victory will all but secure their Premier League status for another season. 

And O’Neil, 39, wants his side to keep pushing. He said: “At this moment, it’s not about each place, it’s still about avoiding the bottom three. 

“I still believe 36 points could be relegated. 

“I think maybe the world felt we were fine when we left Tottenham  [after a 3-2 win] and then you get a performance against West Ham [when we lost 4-0], so that’s a good lesson for the boys. 

“You think everything is rosy and then you get a kick up the backside. 

“Hopefully that prepares us well for what will be a tough ask against Leeds.”

Europe or bust

Jurgen Klopp admits Liverpool will take whatever they can get when it comes to European qualification. 

The Reds were widely expected to finish in the top four and secure a Champions League spot but Klopp’s side currently sit seventh in the Premier League after a turbulent campaign. 

Speaking ahead of Sunday’s visit from fifth-placed Tottenham, the Kop boss said: “We take what we get. It is not we said would be fantastic at the start of the season but this season taught us a few things. 

“If it is Europa League, it is Europa League. 

“We have to be focused on Tottenham. What happens in the next few weeks will be very important for next season.”

BIg loss

Steve Cooper admits losing Neco Williams for the rest of the season is a big blow to relegation-haunted Nottingham Forest. 

The Wales international, 22, was taken off in the 65th minute of Forest’s 3-1 win over Brighton on Wednesday after colliding with team-mate Brennan Johnson.

Reflecting on Williams’ broken jaw, Cooper said: “Obviously it’s not good. I think everyone saw the collision on the pitch and unfortunately it’s a fracture of the jaw. 

“He’s had an operation, which has gone well. It’s a difficult situation for him and rules him out for the rest of the season. 

“It’s a blow for us and for him.”
