Bournemouth vs. Fulham preview: Both sides are competing head-to-head for a European place. A Bournemouth win at home would see them rise above both Fulham and Brighton on 48 points, and their superior goal difference would see them top the teams on that total. Bournemouth haven’t had a win in the last eight matches in all competitions, with three draws coming in that time. Bournemouth will have their sole focus on the Premier League after their disappointment in the FA Cup defeat to Man City.
A win would push Fulham close to the pack in the area above their current position of eighth. They would sit on 51 points, only four points behind Man City and three points behind Aston Villa. Matches against Chelsea, Man City, and Aston Villa remain for them to pick up points over their other European Challengers. Fulham have lost their last two away matches but have just come off the back of their biggest result of the season with a 3-2 win against Liverpool.
