Bournemouth travel to the City Ground chasing an exciting Champions League qualification spot.
Andoni Iraola manages his final match for the Cherries during a historic weekend. His side have already secured European football for the first time in their 127-year history. Bournemouth sit sixth after suffering a late 1-1 draw against Manchester City on Tuesday. They currently boast a club-record 17-game unbeaten run in the Premier League. A draw guarantees sixth place, which could yield Champions League football depending on other results.
Bournemouth team news
Iraola confirmed his squad remains identical to the group that faced Manchester City. Ryan Christie serves the second match of his three-game domestic suspension. Defender Alex Jimenez remains unavailable amid an ongoing internal club investigation regarding his social media. Marcos Senesi expects to make his final appearance for the club before departing this summer. Adam Smith will continue to deputise in the defensive line alongside James Hill.
Lewis Cook and Justin Kluivert will likely earn fitness-boosting minutes off the substitutes’ bench. Eli Junior Kroupi leads the attack, boasting 13 Premier League goals this season. He needs two goals to become the third Bournemouth player to reach 15 top-flight goals. The visitors look to win their final league match in consecutive campaigns for the first time.

Bournemouth predicted XI: Petrovic; Smith, Hill, Senesi, Truffert; Adams, Scott; Rayan, Kroupi, Tavernier; Evanilson.
