Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Bournemouth could line up for Saturday’s Premier League clash against Arsenal.
Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola might have a fully-fit squad at his disposal for Saturday’s Premier League showdown with Arsenal at the Vitality Stadium.
The Cherries are bidding to make amends for their 1-0 defeat to Leicester City before the international break, where Tyler Adams (back) was their only absentee through injury.
However, Iraola expressed hope that Adams would be able to feature on Saturday, even if does have to accept a place on the bench after a significant amount of time with no football.
After witnessing a profligate attacking display at the King Power Stadium, the Cherries boss may consider tweaking his forward line, having taken Justin Kluivert off at half time against Leicester.
Dango Ouattara was called upon to replace the Dutchman, but Luis Sinisterra was arguably more effective after being introduced and could demote Kluivert to the bench in the hosts’ only change.
Antoine Semenyo, Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson should all reprise their roles in attack, while Ryan Christie and Lewis Cook reprise their midfield partnership as Adams warms the bench.
A settled defence of Marcos Senesi, Ilya Zabarnyi, Adam Smith and Milos Kerkez ought to protect Kepa Arrizabalaga too, although the youthful Julian Araujo might be better equipped to deal with Gabriel Martinelli or Raheem Sterling.
Bournemouth possible starting lineup:
Kepa; Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Cook, Christie; Semenyo, Tavernier, Sinisterra; Evanilson
