Jack Taylor’s return from injury will boost Grant McCann’s side but they are expected to be without both Steven Benda and Nathan Thompson.

Bournemouth have slipped to third after losing last time out against Preston but could well boast a side featuring Siriki Dembele.

LIVE BLOG: Bournemouth vs Posh

Key Events

  • 7:45pm kick-off
  • Jack Taylor and Frankie Kent return to the squad
  • Nathan Thompson and Steven Benda out injured
  • Posh have scored once in their last 8 league games
  • Siriki Dembele could feature for Bournemouth
  • Bournemouth looking to move second in the table

Burrows booked. First for Posh. Pulls back Christie.

They’re coming on strong now but haven’t found that bit of quality in the final third. Dembele the latest to balloon a shot into the stand.

Bournemouth going for it. Full back Stacey replaced by winger Jaidon Anthony.

Here comes Joe Taylor for his Posh debut. On for JCH.

Solanke picks it up on the right. Runs inside beats four Posh men and shoots but there is an incredible diving tackle from Knight to block the ball.

Jones and Szmodics are up top now. JCH basically playing centre mid. Can hardly move.

My oh my. Ball over the top. Szmodics runs in between the centre halves and picks the ball up. Jones gives him an option in the box but the as is hit hard and Jones can’t control it. Bournemouth are rocking here. Crowd aren’t happy.

Ball goes over the main cluster of players in the box but Szmodics is there. Stabs it towards goal but just can’t get it through the crowd. Great few minutes for Posh.

Good area again. Billing flicks it away. Great delivery Ward. Corner.

Into a good area. Headed out, JCH picks up on the right edge of the box, pushed over by Cantwell. Free-kick.
