Bournemouth were simply sensational one week ago as they ended Newcastle’s winning run with a stunning performance. Running out 4-1 winners at St. James’ Park, the Cherries are now unbeaten in their last 10 Premier League games and are up to seventh in the table.

Manager Andoni Irraola, who has done a superb job on a limited budget, is likely to stick with the same side that thrashed Newcastle. Justin Kluivert will be looking to add to his goal tally after his hat-trick against Newcastle, while the impressive defensive pairing of Dean Huijsen and Illia Zabarnyi will attempt to keep the in-form Chris Wood quiet.

That could be a tough ask as Wood is enjoying the best season of his career, with 14 league goals in 22 games. He is far from Forest’s only attacking threat, as Anthony Elanga and Morgan Gibbs-White provide pace and power. Nuno Espírito Santo’s side will certainly travel to the Vitality Stadium with plenty of confidence as they are unbeaten in their last eight league games.
