Eddie Howe's side have lost six of their last seven Premier League matches, while a late Eden Hazard strike saw them knocked out of the EFL Cup by Chelsea in midweek.
Brighton on the other hand began December well by beating Huddersfield and Crystal Palace, but the subsequent optimism created ahead of the festive period has been tempered by defeats to Burnley and Chelsea over the last fortnight.

With Bournemouth missing midfielders Dan Gosling and Lewis Cook through injury, March's ability could see the visitors win the midfield battle which could decide the game.
