Think Bournemouth are worth considering tonight. Both sides suffering with injuries - from

Bournemouth pair Josh Gowling and Danny Hollands are major doubts for Tuesday's trip to Yeovil while Jo Kuffour and Jason Pearce will definitely miss the match.
Gowling is nursing a calf strain and faces a late fitness test, while Hollands was substituted during Saturday's FA Cup defeat at Millwall, after complaining of ill-effects following his hernia operation last week.
Forward Kuffour is suffering from a knock to the ribs, while Pearce's calf problem puts him out of contention at Huish Park.
Manager Kevin Bond will be boosted by the return of on-loan duo James Henry and Alex Pearce, who are set to play their penultimate game for the club before their initial loan spells end.
Both players were omitted from the weekend's squad at the request of their parent club Reading. Bond still has Neil Moss (knee), Ryan Garry (shin), Russell Perrett (calf), Darren Anderton (hamstring), Sam Vokes (ribs), Steven Foley (back), Jean Christophe (wrist) and Scott Golbourne (ankle) all still missing.
Injury-hit Yeovil will give experienced striker Marcus Stewart a late fitness test ahead of their return to League One action.
Stewart has been ruled out of the past two matches by a niggling hamstring injury and is rated 50-50 by boss Russell Slade.
Midfielder Matty Rose has joined an injured list that already includes Lee Morris, Marvin Williams and Marc Bircham.
Rose pulled ligaments in his elbow in the 2-1 defeat at Millwall and is expected to be ruled out, meaning yet another starting line-up change for Slade, who has just signed a new two-year extension to his contract with the Glovers.

Bournemouth are terrible at home, but they've had some decent results away - wins at Doncaster, Crewe and Bristol Rovers, and draws at Forest and Hartlepool. Yeovil's home record isn't the best, just 11pts from 8 home games, and 7 of those points were against Gillingham, Luton and Port Vale, all of whom are in the bottom 5 of the away form section.
