Starting XI goes unchanged

Scott Parker has named an unchanged AFC Bournemouth starting XI ahead of tonight’s Sky Bet Championship visit of Nottingham Forest.

Following the emphatic 3-0 victory away to Blackburn Rovers on Saturday, the starting side remains the same.

Dominic Solanke struck first at Ewood Park before Philip Billing added his tenth and 11th goals of the season.

The Danish midfielder was restored to the line-up for the trip to Lancashire, having begun the 3-3 draw with Swansea City on the bench.

Also coming back into the side on Saturday was defender Jordan Zemura following his injury lay off.

Both of the two players remain in the starting XI for this evening’s fixture against Steve Cooper’s outfit.

The only change to the team sees Manchester United loanee Ethan Laird return to the 18-man squad in place of Jamal Lowe on the bench.

Cherries XI: Travers; Smith, Phillips, Kelly, Zemura; Cook, Lerma, Billing; Christie, Anthony, Solanke.

Subs: Woodman, Laird, Mepham, Brady, Pearson, Dembele, Moore.
