AFC Bournemouth are looking to end a two-match losing streak, while Brighton & Hove Albion are plotting a first Premier League victory over Eddie Howe's side. 

Team news

AFC Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has striker Callum Wilson (hamstring) and defender Tyrone Mings (back) available again. 

Captain Simon Francis (groin), however, is a doubt for the match having not trained this week.

Brighton will be without midfielders Alireza Jahanbakhsh (hamstring) and Jose Izquierdo (knee) while defender Shane Duffy serves the final match of his suspension.

Did you know?

Four of Brighton's away goals in the PL this season have been scored by defenders. Both Duffy and Lewis Dunk have scored two each.

AFC Bournemouth’s Wilson and Ryan Fraser have combined for six Premier League goals this season, more than any other duo in the competition.

Chris Hughton is hoping for his first win over AFC Bournemouth as a manager, having lost three times and drawn once.

Cherries striker Wilson has found the back of the net in each of his last two league appearances against Brighton, once in the Premier League in January 2018 and once in the Championship in April 2015.
