Jordon Ibe should not start for Bournemouth against Middlesbrough

Bournemouth head into their next fixture against Middlesbrough on Saturday in superb form and the Cherries will be as confident as ever about claiming their first away win of the season. A recent 6-1 demolition of Hull City followed by a solid performance against high-flying Tottenham proves Eddie Howe's side is more than suited for the Premier League despite fears they may fall foul to its notorious "second-season syndrome". Bournemouth are, in short, playing outstanding football.

Such impressive team performances are being inspired by Harry Arter in the centre of the park. He's a vital component in the Cherries midfield and he seems to have found a new level playing alongside Jack Wilshere.
