Former Bournemouth midfielder Ben Pearson will get a chance to line up against his old club this week.

The Stoke City star may get to show the Cherries what they are missing after they let him go.

Coach Andoni Iraola decided not to hold onto Pearson, as he was sold within two weeks of the Spaniard's appointment.

At the time, Iraola told the Daily Echo: “I haven't even met him.

“I don't know him. I've seen him play, but I haven't even met him.

“It was a decision that had been made even before I arrived here."
