The Premier League returns to the fold with another set of matches this week as Bournemouth take on an impressive Fulham side in an important encounter at the Vitality Stadium on Tuesday.
Bournemouth vs Fulham Preview
Fulham are currently in 13th place in the Premier League standings and have been fairly inconsistent so far this season. The Cottagers slumped to a disappointing 2-0 defeat at the hands of Burnley in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, are in 12th place in the league table at the moment and have stepped up to the plate this season. The home side edged Nottingham Forest to a crucial 3-2 victory over the weekend and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
