The Cherries have won just five of their last 13 league games. Scott Parker's side have struggled to maintain their fine early-season form which saw them go unbeaten until November. Since September 11, Bournemouth have spent every matchday bar three in the Championship's two automatic promotion spots but now find themselves with a pivotal fixture to get over the line.
Ex-Manchester United midfielder James Garner gets the nod in midfield, with former Newcastle midfielder Jack Colback at right-wing-back. Joe Worrall captains the side, with the electric Djed Spence at wing-back and Ryan Yates in central midfield – all three have been selected in the division's Team of the Year.
Sam Surridge starts up front alongside Championship Young Player of the Season Brennan Johnson, son of Forest legend David. Jefferson Lerma and Lewis Cook start in central midfield.Īs expected, Nottingham Forest are also unchanged from the weekend's 5-1 defeat of Swansea. Nat Phillips starts at centre-back alongside Lloyd Kelly and Adam Smith at right-back. That means 30-goal forward Dominic Solanke starts up front, with Philip Billing just behind him. The teams are in and Scott Parker has gone with the same XI that beat Blackburn 3-0 on Saturday.
