Bournemouth - Form analysis: Time for experiments
In their first season under Iraola at the Vitality Stadium, the "Cherries" have already collected significantly more points than in the previous Premier League cycle. After a downturn in April with just one point in three games, the team defeated Wolverhampton, even with a player down, in an away match. As a result, against Brighton, the Spaniard fielded an experimental lineup, resting several key players - and still won convincingly, 3-0. However, in the last round, they suffered a 3-0 defeat to high-flying Arsenal.
Brentford - Form analysis: Spring saw a decisive surge
In their third season after promotion to the Premier League, the "Bees" faced their first serious threat of relegation. Especially at the beginning of spring, when they lost the majority of their matches. However, they first secured three draws against Manchester United, Brighton, and Aston Villa, and then secured victories against Sheffield United and Luton - ensuring they couldn't theoretically drop back to the Championship. Having relaxed a bit, they lost 0-1 to Everton. They also failed to score against Fulham but managed to draw 0-0.
Bournemouth: Team news
Iraola has plenty of injury concerns - Adams, Fevre, Fredericks, Tavernier, Sinisterra, and Mifem are still not recovered. Kerkez is sidelined from the squad.
Brentford: Team news
The visitors will leave behind Mi, Hickey, Dasilva, and Henry due to their health issues.
