Bournemouth vs Fulham LIVE: Premier League result and reaction after Sinisterra scores stunning third

Ariola has made two changes from Bournemouth’s most recent fixture against Nottingham Forest, where the Cherries won 3-2 at The City Ground. In midfield, Lewis Cook misses out, with Scott coming into the starting XI. Elsewhere, Billing drops to the bench, with Kluivert earning a place in the team.

Meanwhile, Silva has also made two alterations from Fulham’s disappointing defeat at home to Burnley. At right-back, Tete comes in to replace Castagne, who drops to the bench. Further forward, Wilson is also named among the substitutes, with De Cordova-Reid coming into the starting XI.

FULHAM SUBS: Carlos Vinicius, Fode Ballo-Toure, Timothy Castagne, Issa Diop, Luke Harris, Sasa Lukic, Harrison Reed, Marek Rodak, Harry Wilson.

FULHAM (4-2-3-1): Bernd Leno; Antonee Robinson, Calvin Bassey, Tosin Adarabioyo, Kenny Tete; Tom Cairney, Joao Palhinha; Alex Iwobi, Andreas Pereira, Bobby De Cordova-Reid; Rodrigo Muniz.

BOURNEMOUTH SUBS: Max Aarons, Philip Billing, David Brooks, Ben Greenwood, Chris Mepham, Kieffer Moore, Joe Rothwell, Luis Sinisterra, Mark Travers.

BOURNEMOUTH (4-2-3-1): Neto; Dango Ouattara, Marcos Senesi, Illia Zabarnyi, Adam Smith; Ryan Christie, Alex Scott; Marcus Tavernier, Justin Kluivert, Antoine Semenyo; Dominic Solanke.

Fulham travel to Bournemouth looking to put an end to a disappointing run of games on the road. The Cottagers haven’t won away from home in the Premier League since the opening day of the season, leaving them without a win in their last eight away fixtures (D3 L5). Marco Silva’s side have lost their last three away matches while conceding at least three goals in each of those games. A win could see Fulham climb into the top half of the Premier League, leapfrogging today’s opponents, Wolves, and Chelsea into 10th place.

Bournemouth have enjoyed some impressive performances at the Vitality Stadium this season and have earned seven points from their last three home games in the Premier League (W2 D1). The Cherries have lost just one of their previous 12 league meetings with Fulham, with their only defeat coming back in 2019. Andoni Iraola’s side are yet to win a game in England’s top flight when playing on Boxing Day (D3 L2), so the South Coast club will be hoping they can break that curse in today’s fixture.
