Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Bournemouth could line up for Saturday’s Premier League clash with Brentford.
Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola is sweating over the fitness of three players ahead of Saturday’s Premier League clash with Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium.
The Cherries are definitely without Alex Scott following his knee operation, while Kepa Arrizabalaga (groin), Luis Sinisterra (unspecified) and Dango Ouattara (unspecified) all missed the 2-1 win over Manchester City last weekend too.
The latter three are all rated touch-and-go at this stage – Iraola will shed more light on their conditions in his pre-game press conference – but he should not be giving much thought to tactical alterations anyway.
If Kepa is unavailable once more, Iraola has a more than capable backup in Mark Travers, who should be protected by an identical backline of Adam Smith, Milos Kerkez, Ilya Zabarnyi and Marcos Senesi.
Ryan Christie is one yellow card away from a Premier League suspension, but the Scotland international is sure to link arms with Lewis Cook in the engine room once again.
Further forward, the effervescent Antoine Semenyo continues to thrive on the right-hand side, while Justin Kluivert, Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson should complete an unaltered attacking system.
After a tough start to his Premier League career, Evanilson now has goals in back-to-back games and could now score in three straight top-flight games for the first time since January with Porto.
Bournemouth possible starting lineup:
Travers; Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Christie, Cook; Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier; Evanilson
