THE LOWDOWN
BOURNEMOUTH
- Bournemouth temporary boss Gary O’Neil continues to lead the side ahead of Brentford’s visit to the Vitality Stadium as the Cherries aim to extend their three-match unbeaten streak.
- Defender and captain Lloyd Kelly missing out through injury is a blow to the hosts, so Marcos Senesi and Chris Mepham are expected to continue their centre-back partnership.
BRENTFORD
- Brentford will be looking to bounce back after being comprehensively beaten 0-4 by Arsenal, which ended their four-game unbeaten run in all competitions heading into the international break.
- After being forced to settle for a place on the bench vs the Gunners, attacker Yoane Wissa could be recalled to the starting XI, whilst new signing Mikkel Damsgaard will be hoping to gain a start in central midfield.

THE PREDICTION
Bournemouth have shown themselves to be no Premier League pushovers so far since promotion and have only lost once on their own ground against top of the table Arsenal. This puts into perspective the challenge for Brentford, but the Bees have been beaten in just two of their seven league fixtures so far. This is therefore, likely to prove a very close affair and it would no surprise if neither team takes many risks offensively that could see them caught out by their opponents. With that in mind, backing the draw looks a shrewd move.
TIP: DRAW
