Two in-form sides go head-to-head in a mouth-watering Premier League clash on Sunday afternoon, as Fulham host Bournemouth at Craven Cottage.

Latest Fulham vs Bournemouth team information

Fulham will continue to be without Kenny Tete, Reiss Nelson and Harrison Reed through injury, while Emile Smith Rowe is also a major doubt with an injury problem that has kept him out of the team's last two games.

Sander Berge also faces a tough task recovering in time from an ankle injury, so the starting line-up is likely to be unchanged from the Chelsea game.

Wilson and Muniz both came off the bench to score against Chelsea, but are likely to remain on the bench against Bournemouth, with Raul Jimenez and Adama Traore keeping their places in the starting line-up.

For Bournemouth, Marcos Senesi, Julian Araujo, Alex Scott, Luis Sinisterra, Marcus Tavernier and Adam Smith are all absent, while Justin Kluivert is suspended after picking up a fifth yellow card against Palace.

Philip Billing is likely to benefit from Kluivert's absence, while there could be another change in attack, with Evanilson returning to the line-up.

Bournemouth's line-up is likely to be largely unchanged from the goalless draw against Palace, with Max Aarons set to start at right-back, while Lewis Cook and Ryan Christie will continue in midfield.
