Still seeking their first Premier League win of 2024, Bournemouth sit one point and one place above today's hosts in the table. The Cherries were held to a 1-1 home draw by Nottingham Forest last weekend and now tackle their third straight top-flight away game in London, where a 3-1 defeat to Tottenham on New Year’s Eve remains their only league loss on the road since November. The visitors have also come out on top in both of their last two meetings with Fulham.
