Targeting the top three
MATCH DETAILS
Fixture: Notts County v Bournemouth
Kick-off: 7.45pm, March 15, 2010
Location: Meadow Lane, Nottingham
TEAM NEWS
Notts County: Only Karl Hawley is a doubt with a hamstring injury, meaning that Steve Cotterill has plenty of options for this promotion six-pointer.
Bournemouth: Wide-man Liam Feeney could return tonight after missing the last two games with a hamstring problem. Midfielder Joe Partington and Sammy Igoe could feature, following their return to the second string. Mark Molesley (foot), Scott Guyett (knee) and Shaun Cooper (hip) will all miss out.
PRE-MATCH COMMENTS
Steve Cotterill: "Every game is a big game. It was important we beat Hereford when I first came in, then Macclesfield.
"It was important we went to Accrington and got something and then we had a derby against Chesterfield at home.
"When you get to his stage of the season, they are all big games."
Eddie Howe: "I watched them against Chesterfield last week and they have changed their style slightly.
"A new manager has got new ideas and they have had some good results since we last played them. They have crept right up so it`s going to be a tough game.
"They`ve still got games in hand on us so it is all set up to be a really entertaining game."
FORM
Notts County: The Magpies have picked up four consecutive wins under new boss Steve Cotterill, scoring ten and conceding none. A win could see them climb into second place, above tonight's opponents.
Bournemouth: Although they have been unable to match their early season consistency, the Cherries have continued to pick up the points. Currently sitting in second, three points ahead of Notts, they have won two out of their last three games.
KEY MEN
Notts County: Ben Davies showed his importance to the team with another wonder strike against Chesterfield on Tuesday. The Cherries will certainly be wary of Notts' creative midfielder, as he will look to make an impact again tonight.
Bournemouth: Brett Pitman has smashed in 19 goals this term, including one against County in November. The striker remains a massive threat and demonstrated this by netting a brace against Barnet two weeks ago.
