“If we perform that way consistently, we will get results in the long term.”

Eddie Howe on Chelsea challenge:

“They have real strength in depth.

“They are beginning to stabilise now in the sense of you can see consistency in their team selection.

“Credit to them for bringing in a really good manager that has brought in that tactical structure.

“He is very clever with what he does.

“We know the next two games are going to be very challenging.”

Eddie Howe on back-to-back games against Chelsea:

“Interesting for both them and us, it is unusual.

“I embrace the challenge and look forward to it, having watched Chelsea in the last few weeks I do expect a good game [on Sunday]. a tough game.”

Eddie Howe on Callum Wilson:

“We are going to lose Callum for the next 3 games.

“He has had some tightness in his body – he hasn’t felt like he can kick on to that last part [of his recovery].”

Eddie Howe on Anthony Gordon’s new deal:

“Really pleased for him and for us, it is a really smart bit of work from the club and Anthony.

“Now he can really focus on his season and us.

“He is such a talent, and we need him, this will help him get back to his best no doubt.”

Eddie Howe asked about Alexander Isak contract situation:

“He’s got a long contract anyway and we have to be really careful regarding our spending due to PSR, so it is not a clear cut situation [when it comes to needing a new extended contract in the immediate future].
