We've been beaten 2-0 by Watford at home - thanks for following the updates and listening to our live commentary.
Here's to next week!
90: Scramble...
It's bouncing around the Watford penalty area, Pugh has a dig and Mousset shoots but Watford defending stoutly.
90: Six minutes of added time...
Maybe. You never know! Come on Cherries!
89: Final Watford sub...
Chalobah comes off for Watson. Not going to be our afternoon.
GOAL for Watford.
Capoue has surely won it for Watford.
He's smashed one into the bottom corner from 25-yards.
It's a great strike unfortunately, 0-2 here.
80: Chance!
Pugh beats his man, it's flicked by Defoe and King just nods over in the six-yard box. Close!
79: Watford's first sub...
Goalscorer Richarlison is off for Capoue.
77: Final sub for us...
Weeman comes off for Lys Mousset. Come on Lys!
74: Huge penalty appeal waved away!
Fraser is clipped by Amrabat in the box but the referee is unmoved. Arter looked furious it wasn't given.
72: Goal for Watford.
Richarlison scores.
Chalobah got free, squared for Gray whose cross was diverted in by Richarlison at the back post.
Cherries 1-0 down here.
70: Another chance for Watford...
Richarlison cuts inside from the left and hammers a goalbound effort but Cookie gets in the way - great block! Could be crucial!
PICTURED...
We're still hustling and bustling after a good Watford spell. Still trying to find our rhythm.
62: Chalobah booked...
He lunged at King. Yellow card fair.
59: Double sub...
Afobe off. Defoe on. A good shift from Benik, maybe unfortunate not to score. JD on!
Pughie is coming on now for Ibe.
58: Booking for Gray...
Watford's frontman is booked for dissent.
57: HUGE CHANCE FOR WATFORD!
Cookie gives it away and Chalobah goes through one-on-one with all the time in the world.
Begovic comes out, makes himself look big and gets a foot to the effort! A great save!!
53: Big chance for Watford...
Amrabat gets in behind and his low cross tees Chalobah, unmarked in the box.
For some reason, Chalobah dummied it!
Unbelievable, he was in with a free hit at goal! Lucky for us!!
52: Counter...
Afobe nicks it back and King sets Ibe free but his cross in the box is blocked. Good work rate from Benik to read the pass!
48: Amrabat...
Blasts one wide from in the box, six-yards out. Should at least hit the target, a bit of a let off.
48: Another chance!
Is that Cookie or Mascherano!?
He rises high from a corner which comes off a Watford player but Gomes dives low to clutch the ball. Cherries have started the second-half on top.
47: Chance!
Fraser beats his man on the right and crosses, Afobe makes contact but it's diverted away for a corner!
45: We're back underway...
No changes for either team. Come on you Cherries!
Attacking the Vitality Steve Fletcher Stand now...
HALF TIME.
Probably sound like a broken record, but it's tense and close.
0-0 probably fair at the break, although Gray could've scored on the stroke of half time.
45: What a chance...
For Watford.
Richarlison beats his man and finds Gray unmarked in the box but Gray diverts it over from close range.
A huge sigh of relief in the ground.
45: Two minutes added on...
Nothing in it still. Two minutes before the interval.
PICTURED...
Still no way through for us. Really close half so far.
37: Richarlison...
Nutmegs Adam Smith and puts the ball across for Doucoure but Arter makes a great tackle in the area.
The Brazilian Richarlison is looking lively.
31: Wing swap...
In an attempt to break down the visitor's defence, Ibe and Weeman have swapped.
Ibe on the left, Fraser on the right. Ibe instantly looked more lively, trying to find Afobe but Prodl cut it out.
30: BIG CHANCE!
It's tense and it's tight but we almost had the opener!
He shrugged off Britos in the area and smashed a high drive which Gomes has to tip over at the near post.
Big moment!
27: Yellow card...
Britos dives in on Arter and gets booked. A robust challenge.
25: Clash of heads...
Between Richarlison and Adam Smith. Both players hit the ground, physios rush on. There's a pause in play.
Both players do seem OK though.
23: King runs through...
After skinning Britos, King burst past him and it looked really dangerous. An extra touch from the frontman allows Prodl to come across. Unlucky!
19: Good chance for Watford...
Ambrabat sweeps in a cross from the right and Chalobah rises over Smith at the back post who heads over when well placed.
We're a little fortunate there, that's a big opening.
15: Watford get in behind...
Femenia got in behind on the left and had plenty of yellow shirts to pick out in the box. Cookie had other ideas however and made a great block to stop the threatening cross.
13: Arter shoots...
King gets in behind and finds Afobe who lays off Arter. His shot from the edge is block. It capped off a good Cherries move though, we're just starting to find our ebb and flow.
PICTURED...
Andrew Surman challenged Nathaniel Chalobah in the middle of the park. Still tight.
10: Opening ten...
To summarise... not bad. Quite even. We've had more of the ball but both sides have threatened early. We could be one up, but for some first class defending from Britos.
05: Big chance!!
King gets in the box and Fraser forces a save from Gomes, who parries to Afobe but his tap in which looked a certain goal is blocked! A huge block from Britos, great defending.
03: Opening!
Arter makes a cracking challenge that sets Benik on his way.
He gets in the box and squares for King but Prodl cuts it out! Unlucky!
01: We're underway...
For the first time at Vitality Stadium this season! Come on lads!
We're seconds away from kick-off...
Don't forget to log in and listen to live kick-by-kick commentary!
Watford are still out on the pitch though as they came out later.
The atmosphere is building...
Last few games...
So, the last four games in the Premier League against Watford have ended as draws.
We've drawn 1-1 and 2-2 with them here, Glenn Murray, Joshua King and Benik Afobe all scoring.
Let's hope we can go one further!
Howe on Watford...
Prior to the game, the manager spoke about Watford and what they'll bring today...
"We’ve had some really good battles with Watford, back to our Championship days where we won some and lost some. In the Premier League they’ve been competitive games. We need to get our tempo and passing moving and if we do that we will have a good chance.
"They had a good shape against Liverpool and you could see that Marco Silva has worked with them, they’ve always been able to bring good players in and this summer’s been no difference."
Live commentary...
Don't forget to log in above for full play-by-play commentary from the excellent Kris Temple.
Keep an eye on the text updates as well though, please. Please. They're good... we promise!
Warm ups...
Our players are out!
Still waiting on the Watford outfield players.
The stands are starting to fill and the pitch looks absolutely class. A great effort from the groundsmen!
Elsewhere...
Man United have just battered Swansea 4-0.
Eric Bailly, Romelu Lukaku, Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial got the goals.
Good for Fantasy Football managers with Lukaku... me included!
I've also got Charlie Daniels so we're hoping for a clean sheet even more today!
Richarlison joined Watford from Fluminense in a deal worth apparently £11m.
He played 67 times for Fluminense and scored 19 times.
The Brazil Under-20 international came through the ranks at América Mineiro and has played 10 times for the under-20s' side, scoring three times.
A typically Brazilian forward, full of flair and pace, he could make an impact - possibly from the bench - against us today.
Connections...
Nathan Aké played for the Hornets in the 2015/16 season, playing against us twice and making 28 appearances on loan from Chelsea.
Under then-manager Quique Sanchez Flores, Ake played more as a left-back at Vicarage Road but has evolved into a centre half with the Cherries.
He's played 11 times so far for us, will he come back to haunt his former club this afternoon!?
What can we expect from Watford?
Well, the first thing we can expect is probably a draw...
We've drawn every single Premier League game with them since we both got promoted.
They also have a number of attacking options from which to select. Record signing Andre Gray could be made to wait for his first Hornets start, after Stefano Okaka’s impressive showing against Liverpool.
Club captain Troy Deeney could also make a return from injury.
A new look matchday...

Vote of confidence for Jordon - let's hope he can deliver!

Team ANNOUNCED!
One to watch...

A new look matchday...
200 and counting...
Should Harry Arter start today, it would be his 200th league start for the Cherries.
That's some going H!
Team news...
The manager revealed last week that Junior Stanislas will still be out.
On Friday though, he said a late fitness test would be made on Simon Francis who injured his hamstring against WBA.
He also said that Jermain Defoe could be in contention to start his first competitive game since his return.
Team news announced at 2pm.
Remember any other goals from our clashes with Watford?
Welcome...
It's matchday for the first time this season at Vitality Stadium!
It's always a bit feisty when we play Watford, but here's to - hopefully - the Cherries getting off the mark for the season.
As it stood
