AFC Bournemouth
Scott Parker hands full league debuts to three players as AFC Bournemouth get set to kick-off against West Brom.
Jordan Zemura, Gavin Kilkenny and Jaidon Anthony are the three Academy graduates who get their chance to impress from the off, having all only previously appeared for the club as league substitutes.
Zemura starts with Jack Stacey not fully recovered from the injury that saw him substituted last weekend against MK Dons in the Carabao Cup.
Adam Smith switches to right-back as a result, with Chris Mepham - suspended last Saturday - begins the match having played an important role for Wales during Euro 2020.
