Preview

Fulham know better than most how quickly things can turn sour in the Premier League and following defeats to Newcastle and West Ham they will be determined to get back to winning ways at home to Bournemouth.

They will be hoping that main man Aleksandar Mitrovic returns from injury to lead the line but even without the slick Serbian, who has six league goals to his name this term, there are players who could cause some damage for Fulham.

One of them is Congolese winger Neeskens Kebano, who could be worth a bet to register an assist against the Cherries at 7-2.

Kebano has three assists to this name already this term, having set up goals in each of his team's last two fixtures against Newcastle and West Ham.

No Fulham player bettered his total of two key passes in the defeat to West Ham and the 30-year-old winger is able to cause problems for Bournemouth, who have looked permeable on the road in the Premier League this campaign.

A cagey affair is expected when struggling pair Wolves and Nottingham Forest meet at Molineux and referee Thomas Bramall could have a busy afternoon.

Forest have collected 27 yellow cards this season, more than any other Premier League outfit, and Tricky Trees talent Cheikhou Kouyate could represent value at 4-1 to be shown a card.

Midfielder Kouyate has gone into the book only twice in the league this season but could be in for a tough time of it given the strength and experience of the Wolves midfield, which will be reinforced by the return of Ruben Neves.

Basement boys Leicester suffered a major blow in a 2-1 defeat away to Bournemouth last Saturday and the frustration of the Foxes could surface quickly if they are slow starters against Crystal Palace.

One player who could be at risk of being booked is midfielder James Maddison, who has been brilliant going forwards but has struggled with his temperament at times this term, picking up four yellow cards in the Premier League.

Maddison is often deployed on the right-hand side of the Leicester midfield, meaning he is likely to square up against ace winger Wilfried Zaha and could be forced into the odd cynical foul to help out right-back Timothy Castagne.

Maddison is a decent bet at 13-8 to be shown a card.
