Bournemouth vs Fulham match preview
Can Fulham prevent their generally very impressive season from unravelling?
The Cottagers come into this one following three successive defeats, beaten by London rivals Brentford and then Arsenal in the league.
Then, a fortnight ago, they looked set to claim a famous FA Cup victory over Manchester United, leading 1-0 at Old Trafford with Aleksandar Mitrović the scorer.
Then, with less than 20 minutes to go, came 30 seconds of madness in which Fulham completely imploded.
Willian was sent off for a clear handball on the line, with manager Marco Silva and Mitrović also dismissed after showing their frustrations towards referee Chris Kavanagh.
Man United equalised from the subsequent spot-kick, before score twice more soon after, as Fulham’s hopes of a Wembley appearance went up in smoke.
Bournemouth meanwhile are also in desperate need of points, given that they are 19th, one point from safety.
In their last home matches, Gary O’Neil’s side sprung a massive surprise by beating Liverpool, with Philip Billing the match-winner.
But then, the Cherries could not back this up, swatted aside 3-0 by Aston Villa a week later.
So, having won just two of 12 matches since the World Cup, most would still expect Bournemouth to make an immediate return to the Championship.
The reverse fixture at Craven Cottage was an entertaining 2-2 draw, while Fulham have won just two of their last ten visits to Dorset, dating back 42 years.
So, can Bournemouth make home advantage count at Dean Court?
Bournemouth team news
Kieffer Moore scored in Wales’ win over Latvia on Tuesday, but Dominic Solanke is likely to lead the line here.
Centre-back Ilya Zabarnyi, who joined in January, is still yet to make his debut due to an ankle injury.
The good news to come out of the Villa defeat was the fact that David Brooks made his first appearance since 29 September 2021 having been cured of stage 2 Hodgkin lymphoma.
If he gets on again here, Brooks should expect a rousing reception from his home supporters.
Predicted XI (5-4-1): Neto; Smith, Stephens, Senesi, Kelly; Rothwell, Lerma, Billing, Junior Traorè, Anthony; Solanke.
Fulham team news
Willian is banned for one game, manager Marco Silva is serving a touchline ban, while Aleksandar Mitrović will also be suspended for, at least, the next three matches.
So, Carlos Vinícius will come in to lead the line, with Manor Solomon, who netted in five successive matches last month, will also return.
Fellow winger Bobby Decordova-Reid will also be full of confidence, having scored an absolute banger for Jamaica at the Azteca on Sunday night in the CONCACAF Nations League.
João Palhinha’s importance to this team was emphasised in their last two Premier League games, as they lost both.
In fact, Fulham have lost all three league fixtures Palhinha has sat out suspended, conceding ten goals, but thankfully for them he’ll be back here.
Predicted XI: (4-2-3-1): Leno; Tete, Diop, Ream, Robinson; Palhinha, Reed, Decordova-Reid, Pereira, Solomon; Vinícius
