Bournemouth host Fulham in the Premier League looking to build on their excellent run of results.

Adoni Iraola has inspired three successive wins for the Cherries, including a win behind Dominic Solanke’s hat-trick last time out at Nottingham Forest.

The Whites will want to bounce back after a defeat at home to Burnley last time out, and both sides will want the points to separate themselves from the relegation zone.

Alex Scott and Justin Kluivert both return to the starting line-up at the Vitality Stadium. While Raul Jimenez serves the final game of a three-match ban, so Rodrigo Muniz leads the line for the visitors.

Billing and Ouattara work the ball well on the left for Bournemouth before they pass the ball into midfield, patiently keeping possession. The Cherries are recycling the ball with Scott dictating the tempo. A long pass now finds Solanke who looks to cut it back to Billing, but the flag has gone up for offside. The Cherries are trying to see out the game in the final stages.

Pereira sends a ball over the top of the Bournemouth defence in search of Muniz, but it's easily cut out by Zabarnyi who fires it out for a Fulham throw-in. The Cherries have looked incredibly comfortable at the back with Silva's side showing minimal attacking intent. The Cottagers need to show more in the final stages of the game.

AFC Bournemouth vs Fulham

Leno might consider himself lucky not to have received a second yellow! Fulham have a goal-kick and the German goalkeeper looks to retrieve the ball from a ballboy who is taking his time, and the German goalkeeper proceeds to push the young lad away after clutching the ball away from him. It was only the slightest of touches from Leno, but he's got to be careful when already on a yellow.

AFC Bournemouth vs Fulham

Pereira finds Iwobi who slots a throughball down the left-hand side towards Robinson, who has burst forward from defence. The Fulham left-back fires a dangerous cross into the box, but none of his team-mates can divert it towards goal. Silva's side have predominantly looked to create down the left-hand side, but it's not worked out so far.
