Alex Scott came to the Cherries from Championship team Bristol City, and upon moving to Vitality Stadium, he was recovering from a knee injury. After spending a brief time on the team as a young player, the 20-year-old midfielder returned to training earlier this month and quickly made an impression on head coach Andoni Iraola and his staff. One of four changes to the Cherries starting lineup is Scott, a native of Guernsey, who returns together with Max Aarons, Lloyd Kelly, and David Brooks.
Marcos Senesi is replaced by Kelly, who has missed the last three games due to injury; Aarons, who came off the bench against Everton, replaces Adam Smith. Dango Ouattara has been substituted for Brooks. He is positioned next to Marcus Tavernier, who scored the game's lone goal to give the Cherries a vital win at Molineux in February. Mario Lemina, who was sent off against Aston Villa before to the international break, is suspended for the visiting team, while Nélson Semedo is banned after receiving five yellow cards.
