A lot of money was spent to ensure Fulham could handle the step up to the Premier League but they look an unbalanced side and are under huge pressure to beat Bournemouth at Craven Cottage.

The Cottagers have by far the worst defensive record in the division and they were ripped apart in a 4-2 loss at Cardiff last week.

Centre-backs Tim Ream and Calum Chambers look susceptible to pace and their weaknesses should encourage Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson, who looks a value bet to notch the opening goal.

Recommendation
C Wilson first scorer
