A.F.C. BOURNEMOUTH v WATFORD F.C. From ESPN: Bournemouth look set to be without striker Lewis Grabban when they face Watford. The former Rotherham forward is in talks with Brighton over a potential move to the Amex Stadium and looks very unlikely to line up for the Cherries unless a move further down the south coast falls through. Elsewhere Lee Camp looks set to regain his place in goal after he was cup-tied for the 4-1 win over Burton on Tuesday night which saw the Cherries set up an FA Cup fourth-round tie with Liverpool. Defender Steve Cook came through his return from a hamstring injury unscathed in that cup tie and will hope to keep his place against the Hornets. Almen Abdi will continue to look for further game time as Watford make the trip south. The influential midfielder came off the bench for the final 15 minutes of Tuesday's 2-0 FA Cup win over Bristol City to make his first appearance since August having overcome a long-term foot injury. Abdi is not fit enough to start against the Cherries but will hope for further minutes off the bench as he steps up his recovery. Loanee Hector Bellerin returns to contention having been denied permission to feature in midweek by parent club Arsenal. However, Alexander Merkel serves the second game of his three-match suspension while Marco Cassetti (knee), Essaid Belkalem and Tommie Hoban (both ankle) remain sidelined. And a glimpse of the table. although Sannino won't look at it!! Comments welcome , enjoy the game
Be good to get a win here - if the games goes ahead. Some doubts from the locals due to the weather..

Nice one Mex 5*'s from me...nice little away win coming up and I predict a 3-1 win. Hope it's on as we are leaving at 10.00 am
Remembering being in Bournemouth on the first game of the season mid 90''- except I was there on a cricket tour with my village club. Yellow CTX shirts all over town, very hot day. Season, result, anyone?
Today's team: Almunia; Angella, Hall, Ekstrand; Faraoni, Battocchio, Iriney, McGugan, Pudil; Deeney, Fabbrini subs: Bond, Bellerin, Forestieri, Doyley, Murray, Anya, Abdi That subs bench would have to rate as one of our best ever....
Agreed.... Aaww Mine is patchy.... keeps dropping..... I am changing browsers and old/new modes.... but no consistent change... and it sticks and then 10 secondsl ater starts again in the same place....
Watford playing in a all yellow strip this afternoon. Game underway. Free kicks to both sides in the first minute. Deeney caught just offside.
Could argue some of those on the bench should be starting and you'd certainly be sure of them doing a good job if required to.
