Norwich are chasing shadows at the moment. Adam Smith has the beating of City left-back Robbie Brady as he charges into the area, but he can't find anyone with the cut-back.

A look at the goal again. An initial Bournemouth attack breaks down but Sebastien Bassong could only find Harry Arter (8). He found Charlie Daniels (11), to Marc Pugh (7), in to Dan Gosling (4), jackpot.

"A big, big start for Eddie Howe's Bournemouth, who haven't scored too many goals of late."

We're looking at a shot of Lewis Grabban in the stands. No cup of Lemsip in his hands. What a trooper for watching his team-mates though, bless him.

Once again Norwich are struggling to deal with Benik Afobe. He's holding Ryan Bennett at bay with ease and lays it off to Junior Stanislas, who shoots straight at Declan Rudd.

First crack at goal. It's Benik Afobe, using all of his considerable muscle to find space on the edge of the Norwich area - but he drills over the bar.

Bournemouth have a couple of goes at releasing Adam Smith down the right, but both are snuffed out.

Toot-da-toot. Norwich take the kick-off. And away we go.

BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson pits his wits against a different guest each week this season - and he's predicting a 2-1 home win in this one.

Lawro's opponent for the latest round of Premier League fixtures are Creed stars Michael B Jordan & Tony Bellew.

Everton fan and professional boxer Bellew plays 'Pretty' Ricky Conlan in the film, that sees Sylvester Stallone reprise his role as the former world heavyweight champion Rocky Balboa.

Balboa is trainer and mentor to Adonis Johnson - played by Jordan - the son of his former rival Apollo Creed.

...seven years after the death of George Santayana.

If you ever needed your faith restored in football fans, this was the week to do it.

There was a bizarre period this week where a few Norwich fans thought their club were linked to signing a fella called George Santayana.

It seemed to derive from a random tweet and then gained steam on message boards, before being picked up by a blogger., external

The more informed Canaries fans, realising that George Santayana is in fact a dead, Spanish-American philosopher, decided to have some fun on Twitter - bemoaning their club's lack of ambition and even suggesting Bournemouth might beat them to the signing.

The fun reached its nadir when Norwich City themselves got in on the act with this tweet.

Maybe it's a bit like your teacher joining in on the classroom joke, but it's still pretty funny.

Martin Fisher
Match of the Day commentator at Vitality Stadium

"Bournemouth have lost their way since Christmas - the incredible highs of beating Chelsea and Manchester United replaced by a winless run of four games in which they've scored once.

"Hence the expensive acquisitions of Benik Afobe and Lewis Grabban. Of course, the latter joined from Norwich, so he has to play in this one, doesn't he? (Ed: You'd have though so, but Martin wrote this in mdweek.)

"The Canaries have already lost seven games on the road but they did win at the Vitality Stadium last January in Alex Neil's first game in charge.

"That victory set them on their way to the Premier League. A repeat will be a huge boost in keeping them there."

What do we think about this sign for Benik Afobe?

Fancy yourself as a footballing version of Mystic Meg? Here's your chance to prove that you can see into the Premier League future.

The more successful you are, the higher up the league table your team will go - and both of your top-half sides are desperate for a boost.

Norwich supporters are flying high in sixth place, while their Bournemouth rivals are just behind in 10th. Head over there now to help the cause.

It was just 18 months ago that Lewis Grabban packed his bags and left the seaside of Bournemouth for the Broads of Norwich. It was for a price of around £3m, depending on who you listen to.

This week, he was back at Dean Court, for a price of around £7m, depending on who you listen to.

He played for them in midweek, but is only well enough to watch from the stands today.

Norwich fans were pleasantly surprised at their bumper profit for a player who had fallen off boss Alex Neil's good list.

Although there does seem to be some jealousy creeping into the yellow and green contingent. With the Cherries having also splurged £10m on Benik Afobe (a reported Norwich target), some Canaries supporters have been referring to Bournemouth as Chelsea-on-Sea.

A bit unsavoury if you ask me.

Some cynics out there are questioning the legitimacy of Lewis Grabban's illness.

The rascals.

The interesting news from Dean Court is that Lewis Grabban is not in the Bournemouth squad to face the side he left this week. Apparently he's poorly.

Other than that, there is one change for each side from their midweek defeats.

Matt Ritchie has not recovered from a dead leg, so Marc Pugh replaces him in the Cherries midfield.

Are we allowed to say it?

We're only 21 games into the season.

But these two teams are 15th and 16th, with just two points between them.

But it's a cliche and incredibly annoying.

Stuff it. I'm putting it out there.

THIS IS A SIX-POINTER.

Oh that felt gooooooood.
