Striker Jermain Defoe (hamstring) will once again be absent, along with defenders Tyrone Mings (back) and Brad Smith (hip).

Middlesbrough, who have not won in five games, will make changes.

Defender Ryan Shotton and winger Marvin Johnson are cup-tied and striker Rudy Gestede (thigh) is still out.

"We want to go as far as we can - the cup is not a distraction," said Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe.

"The quarter-finals await the winners on Tuesday night and the games take on a different meaning then."
