Bournemouth’s decision to sack former manager Scott Parker in the wake of a 9-0 humiliation at Anfield is starting to look wiser by the week. The Cherries are unbeaten since that game picking up a win over Nottm Forest and hard-earned points against Wolves and Newcastle. Bournemouth find themselves in 12th after eight matches, not a bad position for a team that many earmarked as a relegation favorite prior to the season starting.
Brentford are also enjoying a solid start to their sophomore Premier League campaign. There was no shame in their 3-0 defeat to London-rival Arsenal last time out and the Bee’s convincing 5-2 win over Leeds is still a blueprint for how they can hurt teams this season. Star striker Ivan Toney is just back off his first-ever England international call-up as well and could be filled with confidence as a result.
Bournemouth will be looking for a win to take them closer toward EPL survival, while Brentford will have their heights set a little higher and will want to remain in the top 10 for as long as possible. Find out how this fixture plays out by watching a Bournemouth vs Brentford live stream.
Today's lineups are as follows:
Bournemouth (Formation 4-2-3-1): 13 Murara Neto, 15 A Smith, 6 Mepham, 25 Senesi, 33 Zemura, 4 L Cook, 8 Lerma, 9 Solanke, 29 Billing, 16 Tavernier, 21 Moore
Brentford (Formation 4-3-3): 1 Raya, 20 Ajer, 18 Jansson, 16 Mee, 3 Henry, 26 Baptiste, 27 Janelt, 8 Jensen, 19 Mbeumo, 17 Toney, 24 Damsgaard
