THE TEAM NEWS

BOURNEMOUTH

Andoni Iraola has said that Enes Unal has not yet travelled to England as he is awaiting a visa having joined AFC Bournemouth on a loan deal until the end of the season from La Liga side, Getafe, on the final day of the transfer window.

Bar that, The Cherries will have the same squad that was available for the draw with West Ham United in midweek as well as Dango Ouattara, who has returned following Burkina Faso’s elimination from the Africa Cup of Nations.

PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Neto; Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kelly; Cook, Christie; Semenyo, Scott, Tavernier; Solanke

UNAVAILABLE: Randolph (Illness), Hill (Injured), Fredericks (Injured), Aarons (Injured), Adams (Injured)

QUESTIONABLE:

NOTTINGHAM FOREST

Nottingham Forest have had availability issues throughout the last month due to several players involved in the Africa Cup of Nations. Moussa Niakhate has returned but the likes of Ibrahim Sangare, Willy Boly and Ola Aina remain at the tournament.

Cheikhou Kouyate, after the competition, has been granted time in Senegal on compassionate grounds, whilst Nuno Espirito Santo did hint at the fact there could be some issues that need to be assessed. Matz Sels signed in time to play this weekend on the south coast.

PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Sels; Montiel, Omobamidele, Murillo, Toffolo; Danilo, Yates; Williams, Gibbs-White, Dominguez; Awoniyi

UNAVAILABLE: Boly (International duty), Aina (International duty), Kouyate (Personal reasons), Sangare (Injured), Origi (Injured), Wood (Injured)

QUESTIONABLE:

THE PREDICTION

Since the start of November, AFC Bournemouth have arguably been one of the most impressive teams to watch in the Premier League. They were frustrated to be pegged back to a 1-1 draw with West Ham in midweek but The Cherries remained intent on attack in that game. They face a Nottingham Forest side that began Nuno Espirito Santo’s reign with a 3-2 defeat in the reverse fixture between these two before Christmas. Bournemouth, especially with their home advantage, are favourites for this one.

TIP: BOURNEMOUTH TO WIN
