Team News

Bournemouth
Stoke
  • Jonathan Woodgate could make another rotational change this weekend with Shane Long pushing for a recall out wide.
  • Jefferson Lerma was left out against Wycombe last time out, but could start on Saturday.
  • Shane Long has returned to action so Lewis Cook and Lloyd Kelly are the home side's only injury concerns here.
  • Michael O'Neill will be forced into making a change to his midfield here with Jordan Thompson set to replace the injured Nick Powell.
  • The Potters have struggled for goals lately so expect to see wide forward Jacob Brown return here.

Prediction

  • A rotated Bournemouth side were subjected to one of the shock results of the weekend last time out, conceding inside the opening four minutes on their way to a 1-0 away defeat against basement club Wycombe. The Cherries have lost back-to-back league games, but remain strong playoff contenders.
  • Stoke failed to build on a decent performance against lower mid-table Nottingham Forest when they welcomed QPR to Staffordshire last weekend, slipping to a 2-0 defeat at home. The Potters are winless in their last six league games ahead of the trip to Dorset.
