THE Cherries provide a chance for some badly needed pickings for a Bury team without a win in their last five games.

Bournemouth's record is far worse. They arrive at Gigg Lane with only one league win to their name since last November, while victory for Andy Preece's men will guarantee they stay out of the bottom four, irrespective of other results.

Lee Unsworth is expected to have recovered from a virus that forced him to miss the defeat at Cardiff.

Steve Redmond, who took a knock on his foot at Ninian Park, should be available while Gareth Seddon (hamstring) and Nicky Hill (knee) may also be fit.

However, there are doubts over Danny Swailes and Paul Reid.

Bury directors Fred Mason and John Smith have indicated this could be Bury's last ever home game depending on the result of their High Court case on March 4.

And Preece says: "We had a great response from the fans last Saturday but we need more people to come out and support us."

LAST SEASON: Bury 2 Bournemouth 5

KEY OPPONENT: James Hayter - always seems to score against the Shakers, including four times in one match last season.
