Bournemouth travel to the London Stadium this evening, aiming to extend their six-match unbeaten run and boost their European hopes.
The Cherries have moved into the top half of the Premier League after a sensational start to 2026, where they have won four of their five league matches. Manager Andoni Iraola oversaw an impressive come-from-behind 2–1 victory at Everton last Tuesday. Bournemouth arrive in London fresh from extending their unbeaten league run to six matches. Notably, the Cherries have proved a dominant force against sides below them this term, losing just once in 13 such meetings.

Andoni Iraola manages a squad nearing full strength as they enter the final third of the campaign. Notably, Tyler Adams and David Brooks have been declared fit and are available for selection. Consequently, the manager has increased competition for places in the midfield engine room. Marcus Tavernier faces a late fitness test after returning to training following a hamstring injury. No new injury concerns were reported following the win at Goodison Park.
Djordje Petrović will start in goal behind a defensive line featuring James Hill and Marcos Senesi. Raúl Jiménez and Adrien Truffert are expected to occupy the full-back positions. In midfield, Ryan Christie and Alex Scott will anchor the side. Rayan and Yacine Adli provide the creative spark from wide areas, while Mihály Tóth operates in the attacking midfield role. Evanilson is poised to lead the attack as the lone striker.
