Bournemouth are eager to secure their maiden Premier League triumph of the current campaign as they host Brentford at the Vitality Stadium this Saturday.
Under the guidance of boss Marco Rose, the Cherries are yet to taste success in the top flight this term. They have struggled to protect advantages, surrendering points after going ahead in back-to-back league stalemates—first against Everton (1–1) and then against Newcastle (2–2). Even so, morale got a significant lift midway through the week thanks to an impressive 4–0 triumph over Lincoln City in the Carabao Cup.
Bournemouth team news
Heading into the Brentford fixture, Bournemouth’s medical list looks fairly positive, with Rose confirming no new injury worries after their midweek cup outing.
That said, the squad continues to cope without four players who remain long-term absentees. Up front, Eli Junior Kroupi is sidelined because of a foot problem, while wide man Amine Adli is still working his way back from a calf complaint.
At the back, right-back Julian Araujo stays out owing to a thigh pull, and promising centre-back Veljko Milosavljevic is unavailable due to a knee knock.
In spite of these missing personnel, Rose enjoys viable tactical options, especially through the middle of the park.
Ryan Christie is making a strong case for inclusion in the starting line-up after netting a brilliant hat-trick in the Carabao Cup victory against Lincoln City, giving the manager a welcome headache when picking his team before the whistle.
Bournemouth predicted lineup
Possible Bournemouth starting XI: Petrovic; Smith, Hill, Silva, Truffert; Christie, Scott; Rayan, Kluivert, Tavernier; Evanilson
When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 3pm BST on Saturday, 12th September.
