Player to watch – Dominic Solanke

Bournemouth's top goalscorer is back from injury and will be looking to add to his already impressive goals tally in the Premier League this season.

The former Liverpool man has netted 14 times in the league so far, his best return in the top-flight of English football. Solanke is without a goal in his last two league games but still heads into Saturday's match with four goals in his last ten appearances in all competitions.

Can the Baldes' defence stop Solanke from scoring?

We're backing Solanke to add another goal or two to his Premier League tally for the season when the Cherries play host to the Blades this weekend.
