Lys Mousset makes his first Premier League start as Bournemouth welcome Stoke City.

Lys Mousset makes his first Premier League start as Bournemouth welcome Stoke City to the Vitality Stadium this afternoon.

The striker comes in alongside Joshua King up front as replacement for Benik Afobe, who misses out with a hamstring injury.

Eddie Howe makes one other change from the 1-0 victory at Sunderland last weekend as Junior Stanislas replaces Ryan Fraser in the middle of the park alongside Harry Arter, Lewis Cook and Marc Pugh.

The back four of Adam Smith, skipper Simon Francis - making his 250th Cherries appearance - Steve Cook and Charlie Daniels continues unchanged, while Artur Boruc keeps his place between the sticks.

For the visiting Potters, Mark Hughes is forced into one change following last weekend's goalless draw with West Ham United, as an ill Saido Berahino is replaced by Mame Biram Diouf.

Hughes switches to a 4-3-3 for the encounter, with Diouf joining Xherdan Shaqiri and Marko Arnautovic in the frontline and Geoff Cameron, Joe Allen and Glenn Whelan in midfield.

Jack Butland keeps his place between the sticks, behind a back four of Glen Johnson, Ryan Shawcross, Bruno Martins Indi and Marc Muniesa.

Elsewhere, Jonathan Walters is named on the bench after missing the last two games with a knee injury.
