AFC Bournemouth v Preston North End team news: Browne, Rafferty and Ledson return for the Lilywhites

Alan Browne, Joe Rafferty and Ryan Ledson come back into the starting XI, Browne and Rafferty having missed the 4-1 defeat at Watford because of suspension.

Ledson had been a second-half substitute at Vicarage Road but returned to bolster the midfield.

Out of the team went Jordan Storey, Emil Riis and Brad Potts who were all on the bench.
