THE Cherries are about to enter the traditional Christmas period, with Andoni Iraola expecting to call upon his full squad as Bournemouth play three games in eight days.

AFC Bournemouth face Manchester United on Sunday, December 22, before hosting Crystal Palace on Boxing Day ahead of a trip to Fulham on Sunday, December 29.

Asked how much rotation there is likely to be in the [Cherries](http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/cherries/clubnews/) starting 11, Iraola told the Daily Echo: “It's difficult when you play three games in seven, eight days.

“I take these decisions during the week, I don't think who is going to play against Fulham because probably I don't know, he’s suspended or injured.

“So we prepare for United. Let's see how we finish, how strong we finish, who is more tired, who is less tired and we adapt the rest of the week.

“I think we arrive in quite a good condition against United after a short week, but a little bit more rest than them and we will take decisions after because the next games it is true that they are three, four days and they are closer.”
