Bournemouth welcome Fulham to the Vitality Stadium on Friday night aiming to continue what has been their best-ever start to a Premier League season.
Andoni Iraola’s side sit impressively in the top six, having lost just one of their opening six matches and established a formidable home record. The Cherries will be full of confidence for this fixture. They have been particularly strong on their home patch, where they have won four of their last seven games. They also have a dominant historical record against Fulham, having lost just one of the last eight league meetings between the clubs.
Andoni Iraola has a relatively settled side, though he will be without right-back Adam Smith and long-term absentee Enes Ünal. Alex Jimenez is expected to continue to deputise for Smith in a back four that will include Marcos Senesi and Bafode Diakite. The attack will be led by Evanilson, but the main goal threat has been Antoine Semenyo. The Ghanaian has scored eight Premier League goals since the start of April, a tally bettered only by Erling Haaland and Jarrod Bowen in that time.
Bournemouth predicted XI: Petrovic; Jimenez, Diakite, Senesi, Truffert; Adams, Scott; Semenyo, Tavernier, Brooks; Evanilson
The Premier League fixture will be played at the Vitality Stadium on Friday, 3 October 2025, with kick-off scheduled for 8:00 pm BST.
The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League, with coverage from 7:30pm BST.
