Bournemouth welcome Fulham to the south coast on Friday evening in front of the Sky Sports cameras. The hosts head into this clash four games unbeaten, while the Cottagers will be hoping to bounce back after their 3-1 defeat against Aston Villa.
Nathan Joyes is on hand to provide his match analysis and best tip.
Unbeaten at home after three matches (W2 D1), Andoni Iraola's side continue to impress despite plenty of changes in the summer. The Spaniard is living up to his reputation - and has his team playing very well - especially in front of their own fans.
A last gasp equaliser away to Leeds kept their recent unbeaten run intact, where Antoine Semenyo was once again on the scoresheet. The Ghanian forward will once again be their main threat.
Iraola will have been slightly concerned conceding two goals at Elland Road - double the amount his team have shipped in at home - but back at the Vitality Stadium the Cherries will be in a confident mood.
Despite Marco Silva's cry for more signings during the summer, his team have made a solid start to the campaign. Fulham have only lost two of their opening six Premier League matches - and defeats on the road vs Aston Villa and Chelsea won't make or break their season.
But what is a worry if their inability to win on the road. Throw in their 1-1 draw against Brighton in round one, Fulham have yet to get going on their travels.
At Craven Cottage, Fulham have looked comfortable, but if they are to climb up the table their performances on the road need to match what fans have witnessed at Craven Cottage.
Bournemouth have won three of their last five head-to-heads against Fulham, including three consecutive wins on the bounce at home.
The last time Fulham beat Bournemouth away from home was in 2019 thanks to a Aleksander Mitrovic penalty. Last season, they lost 1-0 thanks to a first half strike from Semenyo.
With Bournemouth performing well in front of their fans, and with Fulham yet to show any defensive resilience on the road, everything points towards a home win. Let’s look at the Premier League betting odds.
There's no doubt that Andoni Iraola has turned his side into a really strong Premier League outfit. Players came and went over the summer, but the Cherries have impressed - especially at home - and that trend looks set to continue.
Two professional performances secured six points from six against Wolves and Brighton, and when Newcastle came to town they were fortunate to leave with a point - Bournemouth dominated.
And although Marco Silva is another top manager in the Premier League, his team's performances have been chalk and cheese when it comes to performing at home vs away.
Aston Villa have struggled in front of goal, yet they managed to put three past them last weekend. Fulham's short trip to Chelsea also ended in defeat, conceding two goals without scoring.
And Iraola will look at those matches and try to punish Fulham once more. Bournemouth will be hard to beat at home, and they can showcase that once more with their third win of the season at the Vitality Stadium.
