On Sky
After our win against Wolves on Tuesday night the Cherries visit Fulham where they haven’t played since August 1998 in Division 2.
Fulham’s last home game was the 2-0 win against the league leaders at the time Derby County who hadn’t lost in their previous 5 away games.
Their last game was away at Watford on Tuesday night where they lost 1-0.
During February Fulham took 5 points out of a possible 18 home and away. They have had mixed results at home that month with 1 win, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
Fulham Team News:
According to what Kit Symons says there may be 1 or 2 injury doubts, but Scott Parker is available again according to what their manager said on their Official website below, which might be bad news for us as he pulled the strings in the win against Derby.
The Fulham Manager said in his pre-match press conference…
“There were actually a few niggles in training today which we`re waiting to assess in the morning, but the majority have come through unscathed from Tuesday [at Watford] and are good to go.
“Scotty Parker will be back available. He was part rested, part had a knock on his knee for Tuesday so we were obviously mindful of that and took a precaution with him so he didn`t feature on Tuesday, but he`s good to go.
“He`s trained the last couple of days and is looking good. But, like I say, there were a couple of small niggles today that we`ll have to wait and assess…”
Player to watch: Ross McCormack
Ross McCormack their leading scorer and a player when at Leeds was a prolific scorer which made Fulham pay £11 million for his services, he hasn’t so far been so prolific for Fulham.
AFC Bournemouth Team News:
Eddie doesn’t give much away, he did mention before the Wolves game that he may rest certain players with so many games in a short period of time. He brought back Ritchie for Fraser, but after a win he may stick with the same players again.
Player to watch: Yann Kermorgant
Yann Kermorgant back to his best, scoring goals and generally playing well, he was Man Of The Match against Wolves.
