The Cherries take on Notts County for the third time in 2010 at Dean Court. Last season saw the Cherries win 2-1 at Dean Court thanks to two Danny Hollands goals, whilst at Meadow Lane, County twice went ahead with goals from Lee Hughes, with Brett Pitman and Jeff Goulding equalising both times.
Both sides come in to the game on the back of two wins. The Cherries have beaten Peterborough 5-1 at Dean Court and Tranmere 3-0 at Prenton Park, while County beat Dagenham & Redbridge last Saturday to gain their first npower League 1 win of the season and on Tuesday, beat Watford 2-1 away in the Carling Cup.
Eddie Howe has no fresh injury problems and looks set to name the same starting eleven as last week. He will be hopeful that Dan Thomas will be fit enough for the bench.
Lee Hughes looks set to miss the game for County due to a groin problem and manager Craig Short will also be without Luke Rodgers who is recovering from an ankle operation. Notts rested a few players on Tuesday and former Cherries player John Spicer is set to return, with experienced striker Ben Burgess likely to lead the attack.
