Eddie Howe has made three changes to his Bournemouth side as the Cherries go in search of a first Championship win in four games at Nottingham Forest.

Bournemouth were shoved down to fourth in the table as every other side in the top eight recorded victory last night, but they will move back into third if they avoid defeat tonight.

Coming into the side tonight are Adam Smith, Ryan Fraser and Brett Pitman, with Charlie Daniels and Marc Pugh dropping to the bench, while Yann Kermorgant misses out altogether because of a family bereavement.

Hosts Forest, meanwhile, go with an unchanged XI as Dougie Freedman chases his fourth win in five games in charge and looks to maintain his unbeaten start as manager.

Forest: Darlow; Lichaj, Lascelles, Collins, Fox; Burke, Lansbury, Gardner, Osborn, Antonio; Blackstock
Subs: De Vries, Mancienne, Wilson, Fryatt, Veldwijk, Paterson, Vaughan

Bournemouth: Boruc; Francis, Elphick, Cook, Smith; Ritchie, MacDonald, Surman, Fraser; Pitman, Wilson
Subs: Camp, Daniels, Ward, Gosling, Pugh, Stanislas, Rantie
