Who would make it into your Bournemouth XI for their Premier League season opener against West Brom?

Bournemouth kick off the new campaign on the back of an impressive ninth-place finish last term and will be looking to thrive again under manager Eddie Howe.

This summer they have reinforced their squad with the signings of experienced Premier League performers Asmir Begovic and Jermain Defoe.

The latter returns to the club 16 years after his loan spell but he is not the only new arrival back with the Cherries - Nathan Ake also returns in a £20m deal.

With no major outgoings, Howe has more options at his disposal but how does he plan to line the team up at The Hawthorns on Saturday?

We are giving you the chance to pick your preferred XI for Bournemouth's opener. You can choose from a range of formations and even experiment with players in unusual positions.
