Bournemouth vs Fulham live stream: How to watch Premier League game online today, team news

Bournemouth host Fulham in today's Premier League Boxing Day clash between two teams that have recovered from slow starts to 2023/24 to fix their eyes firmly on a place in the top half of the table. Tune in and watch it live from anywhere with a VPN today.

The teams are in and Bournemouth make two changes as Lewis Cook is out with Philip Billing dropping to the bench. Alex Scott and Justin Kluivert start with Dominic Solanke continuing up front as expected. Antoine Semenyo, Ryan Christie and Marcus Tavernier all start. For Fulham there are also two change as Kenny Tete and Bobby De Cordova-Reid start with Timothy Castagne and Harry Wilson moving to the bench. Andreas Pereira and Rodrigo Muniz are in from the off, with Carlos Vinicius in reserve.

It may have taken Bournemouth until October 28 to register their first Premier League win of the season but, since that 2-1 victory over Burnley, the Cherries have been arguably the division's form horse. Andoni Iraola's high-pressing side won five of their next seven games.

Dominic Solanke is enjoying his best top-flight season, ably supported by out-to-in winger Antoine Semenyo and Marcus Tavernier, and, if they can maintain their momentum, then they'll have an outside shot at European football next season.

Fulham, meanwhile, are consistently inconsistent. Just when you thought their goalscoring struggles were a thing of the past, Raul Jimenez went and got himself suspended. The Carabao Cup semi-finalists can count on Alex Iwobi and Willian for a wide forward threat, along with left-back Antonee Robinson on the overlap. One of Carlos Vinicius or Rodrigo Muniz must fill in at No. 9.
