Bournemouth: Junior Stanislas will face a late fitness test as he looks to return from the thigh injury that has sidelined him since the end of October, though Brad Smith and Tyrone Mings will play no part as they continue their recoveries from hip and back problems respectively.
Southampton: Right-back Cedric Soares will miss his first game of the season for the 'Saints' after suffering a hamstring injury in the late loss to Manchester City in midweek, whilst Shane Long is a doubt with a calf strain, meaning that Charlie Austin, who was dropped for the City game, is likely to return to the starting line-up.
Did you know? There hasn't been a draw in the last eight league meetings between these two sides at the Vitality Stadium, with both sides sharing four wins apiece.
Southampton have only lost one of their last nine games against Bournemouth.
