Lineups, team news, confirmed starting teams as Zabarnyi returns

Bournemouth will go sixth in the Premier League if they win a first league game for a month at home to 12th-placed Brentford on Saturday (5.30pm GMT).

Andoni Iraola’s impressive side were 2-0 ahead at Tottenham after 66 minutes last Sunday before Spurs struck back to earn a 2-2 draw.

Victory for Brentford would move Thomas Frank’s team three points behind their opponents and one shy of 10th-placed Fulham.
