POULTRY IN MOTION

Marcus eyes turkey dance repeat.

BOURNEMOUTH winger Marcus Tavernier wants to give Southampton another good stuffing in tonight's big south coast showdown.

Tavernier scored the only goal in the last meeting between the sides, a 1-0 victory at St Mary's in 2023 to help seal Saints' relegation to the Championship and celebrated by flapping his arms like a turkey! The former Middlesbrough ace said: "I did do the turkey dance, which was a good moment for myself.

"It was a really nice family thing, that was the whole reason behind it and hopefully I can bring it back in this game." While Russell Martin's newlypromoted Saints are without a win since returning to the top-flight, the Cherries look far more comfortable with a healthy return of five points from five games.
