AFC Bournemouth AFC Bournemouth

All set for the final home match of the season, grab a bumper edition of the official AFC Bournemouth programme on Saturday.

The 100-page edition comes with a pull-out poster of Nathan Ake leading the Cherries team in celebration and is available around Vitality Stadium and in the club-Superstore ahead of kick-off on Saturday.

Matchday this weekend celebrates the 2017/18 season (so far!), with contributions from the players that made it happen.

Therefore, on Saturday you can look forward to:

  • The Cherries squad are gathered together to discuss 2017/18, from Jermain Defoe on what's changed from 2001 to today, Simon Francis on the side's hardest Premier League season yet and including Nathan Ake on his feelings after winning the Supporters' Player of the Season award.
  • Guardian journalist Stuart James goes in depth on Swansea City, and how their season this time around has been eerily similar to the one it followed.
  • We pick out the best photos, matches, quotes, stats and moments from the last nine months in our comprehensive review of the 2017/18 season.
  • As well as the full-size fold-out poster of Ake, we have plenty going on in Extra Time - aimed at the younger supporter. That means you can delve into the best stats for Saturday's opponents, learn about the Swans' history and pit your wits against our fiendish quiz, which this week includes a Lewis Cook cryptogram.
  • From players to coaches, we grab 60 seconds with under-21s manager Carl Fletcher and under-18s manager Alan Connell to get to know the pair a bit better - while also asking them to review the seasons their sides have had.
  • We have ten pages of content on our visitors Swansea City, profiling our opponents and even getting a Swans fan to pick out their side's cult hero.

Plus, there is all the news and views from around the cub and in the Cherries changing room. Ensure you don't miss out by buying a copy of Matchday for £3.50 ahead of kick-off.
