Bournemouth vs Stoke lineups and latest team news
Bournemouth
Bournemouth started well at the weekend on their visit to Brighton. They led at halftime but ended up losing 1-3 after a poor second-half showing. The Cherries still wait for their first Premier League win (D3 L3) and they continue to struggle to score goals.
In their first League Cup test Bournemouth edged Swansea 3-2 away from home.
Coach Iraola is expected to rotate and give many of the supporting cast starting roles in the coming match. He won’t be able to rely on 4 injured players. None of them are particularly important squad members.
Predicted Lineup – Radu (GK), Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez, Billing, Cook, Semenyo, Brooks, Ouattara & Sinisterra
Stoke
Another very poor showing from the Potters at home vs Hull led to another defeat. Stoke were booed by their fans several times during that match and the pressure on the squad is high right now with a single point earned from their last 5 league games.
Stoke beat fellow Championship rivals WBA and Rotherham, both those wins at home, to reach this stage of the League Cup.
Both Burger and Campbell, the latter the team’s starting centre forward, sustained injuries at the weekend and are now expected to miss out. In better news, starting playmaker Ben Pearson can return after serving his ban.
Predicted Lineup – Bonham (GK), McNally, Rose, Wilmot, Hoever, Thompson, Laurent, Pearson, Johnson, Moraes & Haksabanovic

Player to Watch: Luis Sinisterra
Bournemouth’s striker Luis Sinisterra has been given very limited time on the pitch so far. The Cherries struggle for goals in the league though and with Sinisterra now expected to start he would feel if he put up a strong display he could see his Premier League minutes go up too.
The experienced poacher Sinisterra will fancy his chances to get on the scoresheet in this match. This is the main reason why we picked Sinisterra as our player to watch.
