Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe wants his side to build on the momentum from last week's win over Liverpool when they travel to Burnley on Saturday.

The Cherries are 10th in the Premier League table after they battled back from 3-1 down to defeat the Reds 4-3 at home last weekend.

"Hopefully as always it will give the players confidence when you come back in a game against a very top team and it shows you should not be out of any game," said Howe.

"That should give the players a big boost and bodes well. The knock-on effect has been good for the players because it has given them a spring in their step this week, but the work has been the same.

"We now prepare for the next game rather than looking back and hopefully create more moments like that."

Howe, who had a brief stint as Burnley manager from January 2011 to October 2012, added: "Consecutive victories would be something we desperately want.

"It is about building that consistency now because we have only shown in flashes this season what we are about."

Junior Stanislas is sidelined by an ankle injury, but one which Howe does not expect to keep the midfielder out for a long spell.

"We are hopeful on Junior that it is weeks and not months, the scans revealed some good news," Howe said.

"There is some damage on the ankle, but fingers crossed it won't be too long."

Jack Wilshere is expected to start for Bournemouth at Turf Moor and if he plays for an hour it will mean he has spent more minutes on the pitch for the Cherries in the Premier League this season than in the whole of the last two campaigns with Arsenal.
