Nottingham Forest have grabbed most of the limelight as the Premier League's big over-achievers this season but Bournemouth's rise to top-four contenders is equally remarkable. When Basque coach Andoni Iraola led the south coast club to a 12th-placed finish last season after a slow start it seemed they had found a coach to establish them as a mid-table team.

On Forest's tactical approach: "It's going to be a huge challenge. They beat Southampton 3-2, but Southampton had the majority of the ball - even at the City Ground. Nottingham Forest aren't a team who are going to come and dominate possession, but they are dangerous.

Iraola confirmed that there are no fresh fitness concerns ahead of the weekend, but he is still having to contend with a significant absentee list. Bournemouth's defensive options have been hit by injuries to Adam Smith, James Hill, Julian Araujo and Marcos Senesi.

Despite a number of injuries to key players, Bournemouth continue to push themselves into contention for European football, while Nottingham Forest's impressive season does not look like slowing down.
