Kirk back for Cobblers

Top scorer Andy Kirk is set to return as Northampton entertain fellow strugglers Bournemouth. The 28-year-old has scored 11 goals this season and is back after missing the last two games with a hamstring injury as Stuart Gray's side seek their first league win since October. Kirk will partner Poul Hubertz in attack in place of Ian Henderson who suffered slight knee ligament damage in training on Monday and faces 10 days on the sidelines. Wing-back Andy Holt is still out with an ankle injury while captain Chris Doig is out for at least another two months with a knee ligament injury.

Anderton out

Captain Darren Anderton is one of seven injury concerns for Cherries boss Kevin Bond. The former England international is set to miss the entire festive period after admitting he has "no idea" when his hamstring problems will end. Bournemouth, 23rd in League One, will also be without goalkeeper Neil Moss (knee), while Ryan Garry is sidelined with a shin problem. Josh Gowling is missing with a calf problem, while Steve Foley (back) and Jean Christophe (wrist) are both still out.
