Early team news for the Vitality Stadium

Erik ten Hag's press conference to preview the clash on the south coast will be released on our channels at 12:30 BST on Friday.

We are awaiting an update from the boss on the likes of Marcus Rashford, who was forced to be withdrawn in the 2-2 draw with Liverpool last weekend, and Scott McTominay, who was absent from the squad due to an unspecified injury.

The Reds have been dealing with a raft of defensive injuries, with Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Raphael Varane, Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelof and Lisandro Martinez all unavailable, leading to Willy Kambwala making an impressive second senior start, against Liverpool, alongside Harry Maguire.
