With the fixture set for a Friday night kick-off live on Sky Sports, Eddie Howe's pre-match press conference moved a day earlier to the Thursday at Vitality Stadium.
The topics of conversation focused on the potential injury returns of Simon Francis and Lloyd Kelly, the recall of Lewis Cook and building on the impressive win over Everton in the previous match and, of course, the nature of the Cherries' rivalry with Southampton.
