Marney, recently troubled by a thigh strain, could start while winger Treacy may make the bench upon his return from suspension.
The Cherries will be without Ryan Allsop - the goalkeeper is suffering from glandular fever.Watch Burnley V Bournemouth Live, Watch Burnley V Bournemouth Live Stream, Watch Burnley V Bournemouth Free Live Stream, Watch Burnley V Bournemouth Online, Watch Burnley V Bournemouth Online Free, Burnley V Bournemouth Live, Burnley V Bournemouth live stream Online.
