Justin Kluivert returns to the starting XI for this afternoon's Premier League game with Brighton & Hove Albion. 

The winger replaces Dango Ouattara in the team, which is otherwise unchanged from the draw with Chelsea last weekend. 

Marcus Tavernier makes a second consecutive start and has been involved in eight goals in his last eight Premier League starts, with four goals and four assists. 

Andoni Iraola opts to stick with his back four - Max Aarons, Illia Zabarnyi, Lloyd Kelly and Milos Kerkez -  who kept their first clean sheet of the season last week.

Brighton & Hove Albion have made a host of changes from their Europa League game with AEK Athens on Thursday. 

Captain Lewis Dunk and talented forward Evan Ferguson missed out through injury but return to the XI.

18-year-old Facundo Buonanotte makes his first Premier League appearance of the season, having come on as a substitute on Thursday night. 

Brighton XI: Verbruggen, Webster, Dunk, Dahoud, Gilmour, Welbeck, Adingra, Ferguson, Estupinan, Veltman, Buonanotte.

Subs: Steele, Lamptey, Igor Julio, March, Pedro, Lallana, Baleba, Mitoma, Fati.

AFC Bournemouth XI: Neto (C), Aarons, Zabarnyi, Kelly, Kerkez, Cook, Christie, Philip, Tavernier, Solanke, Kluivert.

Subs: Radu, Senesi, Smith, Rothwell, Brooks, Traorè, Sinisterra, O. Dango, Semenyo.
