How the teams line up
Confirmed line-ups arrive about an hour before kick-off.
Home
AFC Bournemouth
A solid mid-table side. Bournemouth are hard to break down in front of their own fans at Vitality Stadium, but chances can be scarce at the other end too.
Away
Brighton & Hove Albion
Organised and dependable, Brighton usually win on the road at Vitality Stadium through midfield control rather than sheer firepower.
