Eddie Howe will make a late decision on Alexander Isak, with the Sweden striker suffering with a broken toe. Anthony Gordon could be asked to lead the line if he is ruled out. Sandro Tonali could come into the midfield, but Sven Botman, Callum Wilson, Lewis Miley and Jamaal Lascelles are ruled out.
