Morecambe v Bournemouth EFL Cup preview: Harry Arter suspended for Cherries
By PA Sport


Bournemouth will be without the suspended Harry Arter for their EFL Cup trip to Morecambe after the midfielder was sent off at West Ham on Sunday.

Lewis Cook has shaken off the knock which ruled him out of the 1-0 defeat at the London Stadium, while manager Eddie Howe is expected to make wholesale changes.

Summer signings Brad Smith, Emerson Hyndman and Lys Mousset could be handed debuts and the likes of goalkeeper Adam Federici, Max Gradel and Benik Afobe will be hoping for starts.
