Follow live coverage as Bournemouth face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League today.
Nottingham Forest handed a debut to striker Chris Wood but were without injured goalkeeper Dean Henderson for the visit to Bournemouth.
New Zealand international Wood, signed on loan from Newcastle on Friday, replaced Gustavo Scarpa, while Wayne Hennessey filled in for Henderson and Willy Boly was preferred to Scott McKenna.
Bournemouth gave a debut to Burkina Faso forward Dango Ouattara. Cherries boss Gary O'Neil made five changes in total, with Jack Stephens, Adam Smith, Joe Rothwell and Jordan Zemura also brought in.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Bournemouth have the lead at the break thanks to a goal from Anthony. Without a goal in four games, the hosts found the opener after Anthony turned in Ouattara's low cross. Bournemouth could have doubled their lead later in the half, but Moore was denied by the goalkeeper before Worrall cleared away Zemura's rebound. This came after Forest thought they had broken the deadlock. Involved in every Forest attack, Gibbs-White’s chipped free-kick found Boly who kept the attack alive. The former Wolves defender then knocked it across to Yates who scored. However, after a VAR check, the goal was disallowed with Boly in an offside position.

Gibbs-White's curling free-kick from the right is punched away by Neto. Freuler is there for the rebound, but his attempt deflects behind for a goal-kick.
Rothwell takes a shot from the following free-kick, but it goes straight into the hands of Hennessey.
Great dribbling from Zemura. He beats Danilo before being tripped by Worrall.
