Bournemouth lineup vs. Southampton: Predicted XI for Premier League contest

A change up front? How Bournemouth could line up against Southampton

Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola will have to observe from afar when Southampton visit the Vitality Stadium on Monday evening, as the Cherries boss serves a one-game Premier League touchline ban.

Iraola was cautioned for the third time this season in last weekend's 3-0 loss to Liverpool, entering the referee's book for dissent after Luis Diaz scored the first of his two goals.

Iraola will be one of two Bournemouth troops helplessly watching on this weekend, as Tyler Adams is still out with a back problem, but the Cherries should otherwise have a clean bill of health.

Granted Bournemouth were never going to get much joy up front against Liverpool, but summer signing Evanilson has now failed to score or assist in his first four top-flight appearances and has not even completed a full 90 in any of them either.

As a result, Enes Unal should come into consideration for a starting role in front of Marcus Tavernier, Antoine Semenyo and Justin Kluivert, the latter of whom should hold his position despite coming off at half time at Anfield.

Lewis Cook and Ryan Christie should not be in any danger of dropping out of the engine room, though, and the same goes for Kepa Arrizabalaga, Milos Kerkez and Ilya Zabarnyi in defence.

However, Adam Smith is pushing to return at right-back over Julian Araujo, while Dean Huijsen could cede his spot to Marcos Senesi, who has been booked in each of Bournemouth's last five top-flight home games.

Bournemouth possible starting lineup: Kepa; Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Cook, Christie; Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier; Unal
