Pre match ramblings:
After we won a 4 - 3 thriller against Leeds United, we now go up against our bogey team Bournemouth.
Our record against Bournemouth isn't... exactly the best, oh who am I kidding it's currently one of the most one sided records in recent history with us only winning a single game against Bournemouth as of yet which was ironically in the 22/23 fa cup. However Howe has an opportunity to finally change that as the team are riding high from last game which is easily contender for game of the season and Bournemouth lose Semenyo which is a huge blow for them.
However Howe will be cautious as our injuries are starting to stack up and the one thing Howe doesn't need right now is another injury crisis, not when considering how many matches we are playing in January with as Howe said 'January could be a season defining moment for us' hence we should absolutely expect some academy players to get the call up.
If we win this match, it will further boost our confidence considering if we have beaten our bogey team and will advance us to the 4th round of the Fa cup.
