Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe 'worried' about failure to keep a clean sheet

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe tells Sports Mole that he is 'worried' by his team's current inability to keep clean sheets in the Premier League.

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has admitted that it is a "worry" that the team are yet to keep a clean sheet in the Premier League.

The Cherries, who are playing in the top flight for the first time in their history, have had six goals in four games shipped past them.

While Howe is concerned about the team's defending, he is confident that his players are "close" to getting it right.

"It's always a worry - we want clean sheets," Howe told Sports Mole during his weekly press conference. "We always pride ourselves on how we defend.

"I think we've been really unlucky when you consider the one goal we conceded against Liverpool shouldn't have counted. The penalty against Leicester City was very late. I think we're close, but until we start keeping clean sheets regularly, that will obviously be an area we'll continue to work on."

Bournemouth will take on Norwich City at Carrow Road on Saturday.
