2) Tyrone Mings vs Roberto Firmino

Bournemouth’s record signing was an unused substitute against Aston Villa but is surely due a start this time out. It could be a baptism of fire for the 22-year-old, with Firmino also in line for a first start for his new club. The Brazilian looked excellent during his brief cameo against Stoke City last time out and there will likely be a heightened sense of expectation this time around. Mings, who signed from Ipswich Town during the summer window, will come in a left-back, while Firmino will replace Jordon Ibe on the right of our attacking front three.
