Fourth placed Bournemouth are unbeaten at home in the Premier League this season. They will hope to maintain that record when hosting 18th-placed Nottingham Forest. Can the Cherries get a win? Read our match prediction below.
For a while last weekend it looked as if the Cherries might be going to the top of the Premier League.That would have happened if they'd kept their lead at Crystal Palace but they ended up drawing 3-3. Even so, they are going well this season, particularly at the Vitality Stadium. The weekend begins with them four points behind league leaders Arsenal and they'll hope to get a fifth win in the top-flight.
Nottingham Forest have had three coaches already this season. Sean Dyche is the latest to sit in the City Ground hot seat, being appointed during the week. Forest have only won one league game this season. It's all a bit of a disappointment after the heroics that were shown last season.

Bournemouth - Nottingham Forest: Form Analysis
Bournemouth began the season with an away loss at defending champions Liverpool. Since then though, the Cherries have been unbeaten in seven league fixtures. Last weekend saw them lose a 2-0 lead at Crystal Palace, returning home with a 3-3 draw.
The Cherries have drawn three of their last four Premier League matches but only one has been on home soil. Bournemouth have already beaten Wolves, Brighton and Fulham at the Vitality Stadium. The other game saw them held to a goalless draw by Newcastle United.
Another week and another coach for Forest.
Nottingham Forest have Sean Dyche in charge now. He was appointed after the short-lived reign of Ange Postecoglu. Dyche got off to a winning start on Thursday with a 1-0 win over Porto in the Europa League.
He'll want to repeat that kind of form in the Premier League. His new club are two points from safety with just five points from their first eight league games. The Reds are yet to win on the road with a couple of draws but two losses. Just two goals have been scored by them in their away fixtures.

Bournemouth & Nottingham Forest Squad Analysis
Nottingham Forest will be wary of Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo. He's scored in both of his last two games against Forest and has been in great form for the Cherries this season. Not only has he scored six times in the Premier League but the Ghanaian has also made three assists.
Bournemouth will be without David Brooks and Enes Unai for this Premier League fixture. Evanilson is also a doubt for them due to a calf issue. Last weekend saw Eli Junior Kroupi score twice against Palace and before that hit two for the French U21 team.
Wood needs to find his scoring boots.
A key factor for Forest last season was the scoring form of Chris Wood. He began the season well with two goals as the Reds beat Brentford 3-1 at home. Wood hasn't scored a league goal since then and was a sub last weekend. Sean Dyche needs to get him back in form.
The loss of Ola Aina has also affected Forest this season. More defensive problems have followed with Oleksandr Zinchenko unlikely to play in this match. He went off against Porto on Thursday with a groin problem.

Our Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
Bournemouth are ten points ahead of their opponents after eight games of the new season. It's been an impressive start by the Cherries especially after seeing some key players leave during the summer. Semenyo is still at the Vitality Stadium and he's in top form.
Nottingham Forest are in the relegation zone and have gone seven league games without a win. Sean Dyche got off to a good start with a win over Porto but Forest's away form has been poor this season. Our main Bournemouth v Nottingham Forest prediction is Bournemouth wins.
