Brentford travels south for a Premier League battle against Bournemouth
A top-half finish in the Premier League is still on the cards for Bournemouth if the club can find some winning form to end the season, starting with a home fixture against Brentford on Saturday. The Cherries were looking like candidates for relegation not that long ago but are now targeting much higher prospects as they host the Bees, who sit down the rankings in 16th and aren’t far clear of the drop zone. Thomas Frank’s side have won just two of their last 13 games and are without a win in two having failed to score in more than 180 minutes.

It was only thanks to some late heroics from Bryan Mbeumo that Brentford managed to snatch a share of the spoils when these teams met in west London earlier in the campaign.
And the Bees are relying on the Cameroon international as much as ever now that he’s back from injury and star striker Ivan Toney appears to be heading for the exit.
Had Bournemouth not conceded that late leveler at the Gtech Community Stadium, the club would already be up to ninth and above West Ham, but 10th is no bad deal given its start to the campaign.
Bournemouth’s brief winning run came to an abrupt end at the Emirates Stadium last weekend, where Arsenal kept its title challenge alive and well with a 3-0 win over the south-coast side:
Another clash against London-based opposition in Week 37 promises to go easier on Andoni Iraola’s men this time around, though the Cherries are dealing with some concerning squad issues.
Milos Kerkez won’t be available following his red card against Wolverhampton Wanderers a fortnight ago, with Bournemouth having failed in its appeal to overturn the dismissal.
Wide men Luis Sinisterra and Marcus Tavernier remain out of action, meanwhile, and it doesn’t help that defenders Lloyd Kelly and Chris Mepham are each listed as doubts.
Regional restrictions may apply.
