Eddie Howe welcomed back Bruno Guimaraes for the clash against AFC Bournemouth today. The Brazil international midfielder has missed the last three matches after sustaining a hamstring injury in the League Cup victory away to Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park.
Bruno replaced Sean Longstaff in Eddie Howe's starting line-up while there was also a defensive switch with Dan Burn replacing Sven Botman.
Elliot Anderson was not involved in the squad for the encounter against the Cherries.
