In -on duo Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest Lock Horns in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
After impressive starts, both sides enter into the encounter in a safe mood in the new year, whereby Forest knew that they could end the weekend in second place if they can make the arsenal’s result better. The Nuno Espirito Santo team was the surprise history of the current campaign and is currently sitting in the last five games with four wins and a draw at the top of the formally.
However, a trip to the south coast will not be a cake walk. Bournemouth went 4-1 in Newcastle United last weekend in St. James’ Park and rose to the seventh table after an unbeaten run in the Premier League. The victory on Saturday would move within just four forest points.
Here is 90 minutes Guide to a fascinating collision on the south coast.

The latest form of Bournemouth is all the more impressive to consider your extensive list of injury. Remarkably, you will be against Forest without ten players in the first team, since Andoni Iraolas energetic approach demands his tribute.
In defense, the cherries will be absent in the center without all three high -ranking right -back – James Hill, Adam Smith and Julian Araujo – and Marcos Senesi. The recruit of January Julio Soler is currently not available due to international obligations with the under 20 year olds.
Alex Scott is the only absent in midfield, but the Bournemouth striker line is devastated by fitness problems. Evanilson and Enes Unal are out of the edge for the rest of the season, while Luis Sinisterra is also not available. Marcus Tavernier is back in training, but Iraola has confirmed that he remains a doubt this weekend.
Bournemouth predicted the line-up against Nottingham Forest (4-2-3-1): Kepa; Cook, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Christie, Adams; Brooks, Kluivert, Semenyo; Ouattara.
Ibrahim Sangare is a long -term absence for forest in the machine room and Callum Hudson -odoi is her only other doubt about Bournemouth. The wing player was withdrawn last weekend in victory over Southampton due to close in his bar.
Chris Wood and Murillo were two of Forest’s Star Performers this season and both will begin for the first time since the signing of new contracts.
Nottingham Forest predicted the line-up against Bournemouth (4-2-3-1): Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Yates, Anderson; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Jota; Wood.
These pages collided on the opening day of the season and shared the prey from a highly competitive tactical struggle. Saturday could achieve a similar story in the stages of vitality.
Forest will probably pursue a back seat approach on the south coast when they sit deep and try to frustrate their injury tensioned hosts. The intensity of Bournemouth was too much for Newcastle last weekend, but they could be more challenging life against a stubborn and well -organized backline.
With both teams in excellent form, it is difficult to choose a winner between these two overforms, neither too concerned by sharing the points again this weekend.
