    Six of today's seven team changes across both starting XIs were prefigured by substitutions made on the opening day. Watford's Kiko Femenia, Andre Gray and Richarlison start in place of the three men they replaced against Liverpool, while Sebastian Prodl comes in for Younes Kaboul.

    Injured Bournemouth captain Simon Francis is replaced by Adam Smith, as he was at West Brom, while having come on for Marc Pugh at half-time at The Hawthorns, Jordon Ibe gets his starting berth today.

    Bournemouth v Watford (15:00 BST)

    Bournemouth club captain Simon Francis misses out because of a hamstring injury so Adam Smith comes in at right-back, while Jordon Ibe starts on the wing and Marc Pugh drops to the bench.

    Jermain Defoe is again one of the substitutes, as he was in the 1-0 loss at West Brom last Saturday.

    AFC Bournemouth: Begovic, Adam Smith, Steve Cook, Ake, Daniels, Fraser, Surman, Arter, Ibe, King, Afobe. Subs: Boruc, Gosling, Pugh, Brad Smith, Defoe, Mings, Mousset.

    Watford: Gomes, Femenia, Prodl, Britos, Holebas, Cleverley, Doucoure, Chalobah, Amrabat, Gray, Richarlison. Subs: Deeney, Hughes, Watson, Kabasele, Capoue, Pantilimon, Okaka.
