Bournemouth Team News

Manager Andoni Iraola will be absent from the Bournemouth dugout after picking up his third yellow card of the season. Nonetheless, he is set to be at the stadium and will have prepped his coaching staff.

In terms of players, there are no new injury concerns so that leaves Tyler Adams as the only one to miss out altogether. The United States international is still recovering from back surgery.

Adam Smith and Marcos Senesi are both pushing for recalls after being dropped for the 3-0 defeat to Liverpool. Other than that, Iraolo isn’t expected to make many drastic changes to his starting XI.

Like their hosts, Southampton don’t have any fresh injuries to contend with. Gavin Bazunu, Kamaldeen Sulemana and Will Smallbone will all miss out once again.

Defender Jack Stephens serves the last of his three-game ban after being sent off against Manchester United on September 14. Young prodigy Tyler Dibling will almost certainly keep his place in the starting XI.

Tonight is the night where Ben Brereton Diaz could go 20 Premier League games without a single win to his name. The Chilean international will need to be at his best to end the streak.
