Steve Cook (groin), Lewis Cook and Simon Francis (both knee) remain out. 

Burnley will be without Peter Crouch, who has undergone an appendix operation, but Sean Dyche has no other fresh injury worries.

Steven Defour (calf) and Aaron Lennon (knee) are long-term absentees.

AFC Bournemouth have only lost one of their last 18 Premier League home matches against sides starting the day below them in the table (W11 D6), with that defeat coming against Manchester United in November.

Ryan Fraser and Callum Wilson have each scored and assisted in four different PL matches this season, the joint-most alongside Troy Deeney and Mohamed Salah.

After losing their first four PL matches on the south coast, Burnley are unbeaten in their last five such matches, winning three and drawing two.

Dwight McNeil can become the first teenager to score in three successive PL matches since Romelu Lukaku in March 2013.
