AFC Bournemouth v Nottingham Forest: Latest team news, Is there a live stream? What time is kick-off?

Steve Cooper’s side will be hoping to continue their good form as they push for a play-off place.

Four wins in their last six league games has seen them come to within two points of a top six finish.

But a draw last time out to Stoke City allowed Middlesbrough to leapfrog the Reds in the table, which has left Forest in seventh going into this crunch clash.

Meanwhile Bournemouth are sitting nicely in second place. Scott Parker’s side have won three in a row to reassert themselves in the automatic promotion places.

Victory would move the Cherries to within three points of league leaders Fulham. 

But a win for Forest would see them jump to fifth and into the play-off places, giving this game a lot to play for with both sides. 

Bournemouth are set to be without several first team players for Friday night’s game.

Ryan Christie, Gary Cahill, Ethan Laird and Kieffer Moore are all sidelined through injury.

Jefferson Lerma is also unavailable as he is serving a suspension.

Jamal Lowe will likely benefit, he scored as a substitute against Blackpool and will now likely start this game. Leif Davis and Emiliano Marcondes could also come into the side. 

Forest will be without Brice Samba as he is serving a suspension, meaning Ethan Horvath will likely deputise in his place. 

Ryan Yates could also come into the side in place of Jack Colback or Philip Zinckernagel, but Sam Surridge will likely have to wait for his chance at a first start for his new team. 

The game is available to watch on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football, with coverage beginning at 7:00pm. This is also available via Now TV with a Sports Pass.
