Bournemouth v Burnley: match preview

Bournemouth v Burnley
Bournemouth v Burnley: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

Bournemouth could be without 12 players against Burnley but they were similarly undermanned against Chelsea and snatched a memorable victory. Adversity may be bringing Eddie Howe’s side together but Sean Dyche, who succeeded Howe as manager at Turf Moor in October 2012, is certain to want to capitalise with a win that could bump Burnley up into the top half.
