How Bournemouth could line up against Southampton

How Bournemouth could line up against Southampton

Bournemouth manager Jonathan Woodgate has a fresh injury concern to contend with for Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final clash with Southampton at the Vitality Stadium.

Winger Junior Stanislas started in Tuesday's 3-0 victory over Swansea City before being forced off with a hamstring problem, and Woodgate has admitted that he will not recover in time for this game.

With David Brooks also yet to shake off an ankle problem, Rodrigo Riquelme could deputise on the right-hand side as Arnaut Danjuma once again starts on the left, while striker Shane Long cannot face his parent club.

Woodgate has a big call to make up top with regards to Dominic Solanke or Sam Surridge at the forefront of the attack, but the latter started and scored against Burnley in the fifth round and will hope to produce the goods against another Premier League side this week.

Midfielder Jefferson Lerma picked up his second caution of the tournament against Burnley and is suspended for this fixture, so Ben Pearson should come in alongside Jack Wilshere and Philip Billing in the engine room.

Lloyd Kelly's adductor strain kept him out of the midweek win over Swansea and he will not be ready for Saturday either, so Woodgate's back four will likely remain untouched, barring the possible inclusion of Chris Mepham.

Bournemouth possible starting lineup: Begovic; Stacey, Carter-Vickers, Cook, Rico; Pearson, Billing, Wilshere; Riquelme, Surridge, Danjuma
