In-form Bournemouth take on a Sunderland side without a win in eight away league matches in Saturday’s early kick-off.
The action gets underway at 12.30pm GMT.
Andoni Iraola makes two changes from last weekend.
**Evanilson** and **Amine Adli** drop to the bench, with **David Brooks** and **Marcus Tavernier** promoted to the starting line-up.
This is the fit-again Tavernier’s first league start since mid-January.
As a result of Evanilson’s demotion to substitute duty, it looks like **Eli Junior Kroupi** will be playing up front.
As for Sunderland, Regis Le Bris makes four changes from the 3-1 home defeat by Fulham.
Three are enforced due to injuries to **Nordi Mukiele**, **Brian Brobbey** and **Jocelin Ta Bi**.
**Nilson Angulo** drops to the bench, too.
Coming into the side, **Granit Xhaka** returns to the starting line-up for the first time in six weeks.
**Lutsharel Geertruida, Eliezer Malenda** and **Chemsdine Talbi** are also handed recalls.
**Bournemouth XI:** Petrovic, Jimenez, Hill, Senesi, Truffert, Scott, Adams, Brooks, Rayan, Kroupi, Tavernier.
_Subs:_ _Mandas, Evanilson, Christie, Smith, Diakite, Adli, Unal, Toth, Milosavljevic._
**Sunderland XI:** Roefs, Geertruida, Ballard, Alderete, Hume, Sadiki, Xhaka, Le Fee, Diarra, Mayenda, Talbi.
_Subs_: _Ellborg, Angulo, Rigg, O’Nien, Isidor, Traore, Aleksic, H Jones, J Jones._
