Bournemouth v Brighton live Stream Sky Bet Championship Preview 30 Nov,2013
Tommy Elphick looks set to start for Bournemouth against former club Brighton in Saturday's Sky Bet Championship clash at the Goldsands Stadium.
The 26-year-old, who has been restricted to just five starts this season returned to the side for the 1-0 defeat to Derby on Saturday, and two injuries at the heart of Eddie Howe's defence means he is almost certain to be in the line-up again.Elliott Ward is ruled out for up to two months with a calf injury while Steve Cook is rated doubtful with a foot and ankle problem.
Arsenal loanee Nico Yennaris arrived on Thursday afternoon and is available for selection for the televised clash.
Brighton will be without Bruno Saltor.
The defender serves a one-match ban after he was shown a fifth yellow card of the season at Wigan last weekend so fellow Spaniard Inigo Calderon will step in at right-back.
The Seagulls also hope to have Will Buckley available after a hamstring injury sidelined him for the last two matches.
Fellow winger Kazenga LuaLua (hamstring) and striker Leonardo Ulloa (foot) are due back in mid-December meaning forwards Craig Mackail-Smith (Achilles) and Will Hoskins (knee) are the only long-term absentees.
Bournemouth
• The Cherries have picked up two points out of 15, and have won one of the last nine league games.
• A first win against a top 10 club would provide the youngest manager in the Championship with a very welcome belated birthday present, the day after Eddie Howe turns 36.
• Should Lee Camp keep goal, he will be making his 350th career league appearance.
Brighton & Hove Albion
• The Seagulls are on the joint longest current winning streak in the Championship of three games, and are unbeaten in five (W3, D2).
• All five of their league wins have been against lower placed clubs.
• Oscar Garcia's side are vying for a third successive clean sheet, and an unrivalled sixth of the season away from home in this division.
• Brighton are one of three clubs with a 100% record when scoring more than a single goal in Championship games - they have won all four.
