The Premier League is back in action with another set of matches this week as Fulham lock horns with Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth side in an important encounter at the Vitality Stadium on Friday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game.
Bournemouth vs Fulham Preview
Fulham are in 11th place in the Premier League standings and have been fairly impressive over the past year. The away side slumped to a damaging 3-1 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table and have stepped up to the plate this season. The Cherries were held to a 2-2 draw by Leeds United in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this week.
