Leighton Baines: Faces late fitness test

Baines (ankle) will have a late fitness test ahead of Saturday's match against Bournemouth.

Analysis:

Baines has not played yet this season due to the injury he suffered in the final training session before the season-opener in August, and given his lengthy layoff, it seems very unlikely that he would start in his first match back. If he passes fit for the bench, Brendan Galloway will continue to start at leftback.
