Andoni Iraola’s Cherries will look to press high and put pressure on Fulham when they have the ball in the defensive third. They are a high-pressing side who like to play vertically in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formation. The visitors will look to force turnovers in the attack and be on the front foot.
Kroupi to punish Fulham
Eli Junior Kroupi is the main man for the visitors up top and has scored 12 goals in 30 Premier League appearances this season.

Fulham are more flexible in their approach and will line up in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 depending on the game. Marco Silva prefers to be solid defensively first, press selectively and transition smoothly. They have won 10 of their 17 home games in the league, drawing two and losing five, and have only conceded 19 goals at Craven Cottage.
