AFC Bournemouth is set to face struggling Luton in Gameweek 17 of the English Premier League. Initially dissatisfied with Andoni Iraola’s management, the fans now view him as their greatest hero. Bournemouth has been executing some of the most beautiful football in the English top-flight in recent weeks, despite a troubling start to the season. They have managed to escape the relegation zone with a nine-point advantage over the 18th-placed side.

Luton, currently in 18th position, is struggling to adapt to the pace of the Premier League in England. Despite their courage and grit in their previous two league clashes, they have struggled to cause upsets. They lost a 3-2 lead against Arsenal and left empty-handed against Manchester City, despite having a minimal halftime surplus. As a result, they have only managed two wins so far and are approaching gameweek 17 with a four-point deficit compared to Everton, positioned just above the relegation line. The Hatters are ready to give their last ounce of strength to retain their Premier League status.

Bournemouth will be without at least eight players due to injury and illness, including Darren Randolph, Lloyd Kelly, Max Aarons, Ryan Fredericks, Tyler Adams, Hamed Junior Traore, and Emiliano Marcondes. Coach Andoni Iraola is unlikely to make any changes to the lineup, as his team is currently in the best form among Premier League sides.

Luton and their Saturday opponent are facing six absentees, including Marvelous Nakamba, who will serve a matchday suspension due to yellow card accumulation. Captain Tom Lockyer, Amari’i Bell, and Teden Mengi are set to lead the defensive trio, bringing joy to head coach Rob Edwards.

Bournemouth

Goalkeeper: Neto
Defenders: Milos Kerkez, Marcos Senesi, Ilya Zabarnyi, Adam Smith
