A 'huge challenge' awaits the Cherries

Former Bournemouth defender Joe Partington spoke to the Cherries: Unpicked podcast about Saturday's match against Nottingham Forest.

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.

"They have players who can really hurt you. Anthony Elanga is playing out of his skin and he is the fastest player in the Premier League at the moment and he can really hurt you. Morgan Gibbs-White could probably play for most teams in the Premier League and is the reason Nottingham Forest are doing so well at the moment - Callum Hudson-Odoi is the same. Chris Wood is one of the Premier League's best strikers.

"Bournemouth have got to be careful that if they give the ball away, they are likely going to give away a chance. It is going to be an interesting game for sure."
