Eddie Howe goes with Nick Pope in goal this afternoon with Fabian Schar and Sven Botman as the centre back duo.

Dan Burn keeps his place at left back with former Tottenham ace Kieran Trippier starting on the right side.

Ex-Arsenal man Joe Willock features in midfield, joining Bruno Guimaraes and Sean Longstaff in the engine room.

Alexander Isak leads the line up top with Jacob Murphy and Joelinton supporting the Swede up top.

That means Callum Wilson is only on the bench, joining Martin Dubravka, Jamaal Lascelles, Anthony Gordon, Matt Ritchie, Matt Targett, Javi Manquillo, Miguel Almiron and Elliot Anderson.
