Bournemouth will take on Fulham in the Premier League on Friday, 3 October, in a match that could see the Cherries move up to second place with a win.
Andoni Iraola's side have had an excellent start to the season, but did have a slight wobble against Leeds last time out, showing that there are frailties at the back.
Fulham, meanwhile, have enjoyed a solid start themselves. After six matches, they are on eight points.

Bournemouth preview: More of the same
There is very little need for Andoni Iraolo to change anything, with everything working as planned for the Cherries so far this season. The Spaniard is dealing with just two injuries, with Adam Smith out for a couple more weeks and Enes Unal out for the foreseeable future.
Predicted lineup: Petrovic (GK), Jimenez, Diakite, Senesi, Truffert, Scott, Adams, Semenyo, Tavernier, Brooks, Evanilson
Last five results
- Leeds 2-2 Bournemouth
- Bournemouth 0-0 Newcastle
- Bournemouth 2-1 Brighton
- Tottenham 0-1 Bournemouth
- Bournemouth 0-2 Brentford
Fulham preview: Issues up front
Fulham potentially have an injury crisis at the top of the pitch with Raul Jimenez a doubt for the match, and Rodrigo Muniz is definitely out. Record signing Kevin, who is naturally a winger, could be forced to play up front if both men are out injured, which would mean a starting spot for Adama Traore.
Predicted lineup: Leno (GK), Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon, Berge, Lukic, Traore, King, Iwobi, Kevin
Last five results
- Aston Villa 3-1 Fulham
- Fulham 1-0 Cambridge
- Fulham 3-1 Brentford
- Fulham 1-0 Leeds
- Chelsea 2-0 Fulham
Player to watch: Antoine Semenyo
Antoine Semenyo has been one of the best players in the Premier League so far this season, and the winger will be the man that Fulham are most scared of ahead of kick-off on Friday night. Semenyo already has four goals and two assists to his name in six Premier League appearances this season.
