Whisper it, but AFC Bournemouth are becoming more clinical, scoring more goals from fewer chances - and with Junior Kroupi likely to deputise for the absent Evanilson again, all eyes will be on our French fox in the box ahead of Sunday's clash against Nottingham Forest.Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest fans have endued a turbulent few months, with the departure of Nuno, and a quick "hi and goodbye" from Ange, but with Sean Dyche in charge of the Tricky Trees, new life has been injected into Forest's

From getting the West London side promoted to making them a mainstay in the Premier League - he has quietly ensured that Fulham fans have never had to look over their shoulder.

Saturday saw Cherries rescue a point - their very first at Elland Road - in a game where Leeds United possibly were reacquainted with the harsh realities of the Premier League. The home side showed more heart, and more than shaded it on stats, but Bournemouth’s ability to rescue points at the death might have been underestimated after Eli Kroupi struck late in stoppage time - thus ensuring that Iraola, who seems to rip up the script season on season, gained a point at a place where Bournemouth

AFC Bournemouth's stalemate on Sunday saw the Magpies line-up very in a similar formation to when Eddie used to choose his Cherries team that would face the likes of Man City or Liverpool. With Newcastle smarting from their Champions League defeat on Thursday, Eddie needed a reaction from his side on the South Coast, but rather than play in a gung-ho style, Howe used his tactical nous to stunt everything that Bournemouth's wanted to do - giving Iraola's men no width and no space.

The away side were reduced to 10-men in the second half, but conversely, it had a galvanising effect on Vitor Pereira's men, and with Boscombe not being clinical with their chances, it meant that the result was not as flattering as it should have
