The opposition
A stunning run of form, which saw them lose just once β to Liverpool β in 13 Premier League matches, had Bournemouth sitting fifth in the table in mid-February, but their form has declined somewhat since then, taking just two points from the last 18 available. They are still well in the hunt for a European spot, though, and victory on Monday would put them level on points with Fulham, but above us in the standings courtesy of their superior goal difference.
One bright spark in recent weeks has been Evanilsonβs purple patch, with the Brazilian striker finding the back of the net six times in his last six appearances across all competitions, including a brace last time out in their 2-2 draw at West Ham United.
Team news
π Ryan Christie is set to miss the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery on a groin issue, while Enes Unal is also definitely out. Marcus Tavernier, Luis Sinisterra and Justin Kluivert have been absent of late, and will all be assessed ahead of Monday night.
π€ Harry Wilson is back in full training with the squad, and has a chance of making the bench.
