Stoke are without a league win since the turn of the year and travel to Bournemouth on the back of three straight losses. Eddie Howe, in contrast, has steered his side away from the relegation zone and a win here could edge them closer to mid-table and within two points of Mark Hughes’s side. Stoke’s wobbling resolve will be tested once more, while Benik Afobe is in search of his fourth Bournemouth goal in five matches. Ben Fisher
