Eddie Howe: 'Jack Wilshere is a key part of our attacking play'

Bournemouth coach Eddie Howe has talked up returning midfielder Jack Wilshere's attacking qualities and mentality ahead of the club's Premier League fixture with Liverpool.

The Cherries have decided to bring Wilshere straight back into the team after he missed last weekend's match with his parent club Arsenal, leaving Howe to state that the midfielder's experience against top clubs is vital for the south coast side.

"Jack Wilshere is a key part of our attacking play, and his experience in the games against the top clubs is invaluable for us," Howe told Sky Sports News ahead of the clash.

"We need to do everything right when you play the top teams. If you don't do one aspect well they will expose it. We've performed well in recent games which is hopefully a good sign."

Bournemouth have so far collected 15 league points this term and currently hold 12th place in the standings.
