Bournemouth will be without midfielder Andrew Surman because of a hamstring injury, so Dan Gosling could deputise.
Winger Junior Stanislas remains a doubt with a calf problem.
Sunderland captain John O'Shea will miss the game because of a hamstring injury so Papy Djilobodji is likely to be recalled.
Sebastian Larsson, Lee Cattermole, Jan Kirchhoff, Jason Denayer, Vito Mannone and Fabio Borini all remain sidelined by injuries.
