Fulham FC welcome high-flying AFC Bournemouth to Craven Cottage in a crucial Premier League clash that could shape the race for European qualification.

Fulham remain outsiders in the battle for a top-six finish after suffering a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Arsenal FC last weekend. Marco Silva’s men have struggled for attacking consistency in recent weeks, failing to score in six of their last eight matches across all competitions. However, their home form continues to offer encouragement, with the Cottagers winning ten league matches at Craven Cottage this season.

Back-to-back home victories against Burnley and Aston Villa show Fulham can still rise to the occasion in front of their supporters, and they will hope that advantage helps revive their European ambitions.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, continue to exceed expectations this season. A commanding 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace FC extended their remarkable unbeaten Premier League run to 15 matches, the longest active streak across Europe’s top-five leagues.

Andoni Iraola’s side have been incredibly resilient away from home, remaining unbeaten in their last eight league trips. Their ability to recover points from losing positions has been a major strength throughout the campaign, making them dangerous opponents even when under pressure.

Team News

Fulham could welcome back Alex Iwobi and Ryan Sessegnon after both players missed the defeat to Arsenal. Samuel Chukwueze will also be hoping to rediscover his attacking form after a lengthy run without a goal contribution.

Bournemouth have no major fresh injury concerns heading into this fixture. Rayan remains one of their biggest attacking threats after contributing directly to goals in each of the Cherries’ last three matches.

Head-to-Head Record

Bournemouth are unbeaten in eight of the last nine meetings between the sides, although they have struggled in recent visits to Craven Cottage, failing to win any of their previous four away games against Fulham.
