Prediction: Bournemouth 2-2 Fulham
Much will depend on whether the influential Kluivert will be fit to return on Monday, but Iraola's forward-thinking Bournemouth can usually trouble any opposition defence regardless of who is on the pitch. However, the Cherries' recent rearguard failings coupled with Fulham's penchant for goals on the road makes it difficult to picture the hosts ending their painful winless run, but they should at least avoid a fifth successive home defeat in the Premier League as they play out another entertaining draw with their fellow European outsiders.
