Bournemouth and Forest Green have met twice previously – they faced in the FA Cup first round in 2004-05, with the Cherries winning 3-1 in a replay after drawing the first match 1-1; Eddie Howe started both games.
This will be Forest Green’s first ever match against a top-flight opponent – the last team to win their first League Cup meeting with a team from the top-flight was West Bromwich Albion in October 1965 against Leeds, with the Baggies also in the top-flight at the time.
