Bournemouth team overview
Bournemouth return to home comforts after an entertaining 2:2 draw against Leeds last weekend. Eli Junior Kroupi's stoppage-time goal secured a valuable point on the road for the Cherries.
Andoni Iraola's side have been in excellent form in the early weeks of the Premier League season, picking up three wins while losing just one of six games played.
An impressive run in home games has seen Bournemouth win three of their last four home Premier League games. The Cherries also bagged victories in each of their last three games against Fulham at the Vitality Stadium.
Head coach Iraola has no new injury concerns to deal with this week. Enes Unal and Adam Smith both remain unavailable.

Fulham team overview
Fulham make the trip to Bournemouth looking to bounce back from a disappointing 3:1 defeat against Aston Villa last weekend. Three goals conceded in a dismal 15-minute spell either side of half time ensured a long-trip home for the Cottagers.
Marco Silva's side have been somewhat inconsistent in their early-season performances. Fulham won two and lost two of six Premier League fixtures completed (W2, D2, L2).
A poor run of form on the road dating back to the end of last season has seen the Cottagers lose five of their last seven away EPL fixtures. Considering their poor record at this venue, Silva's side could be in for another tough evening on Friday.
Fulham boss Silva is likely to make some changes to the side that slipped to defeat in Birmingham. Raul Jimenez could miss out after he was forced-off with a knee issue last weekend. Rodrigo Muniz is a confirmed absentee for the away side.
