Bournemouth lineup vs. Tottenham: Predicted XI for Andoni Iraola's side in Premier League clash

Any changes from Andoni? Predicted Bournemouth XI vs. Spurs

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola expects to be working with an identical group of players for Sunday's Premier League contest with Tottenham Hotspur in North London.

The Cherries will still be missing Ilya Zabarnyi (suspended), Adam Smith (calf), Marcos Senesi (thigh), Enes Unal (knee) and Julian Araujo (thigh) this weekend, but Ryan Christie (groin) has not been ruled out just yet.

However, it would be a surprise to see the Scot involved as he manages his chronic issue, so Iraola will most likely be working with the same set of options he had for last weekend's FA Cup fifth-round win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Evanilson has surely done enough to reprise his role up front after bagging the Cherries' opener in that game, but Iraola could alter two-thirds of the Brazilian's supporting cast.

Justin Kluivert and Dango Ouattara could both return to the fold over David Brooks and Marcus Tavernier, although Antoine Semenyo's spot in the side is undoubtedly safe.

Unless Christie surprisingly makes himself available, Alex Scott and Tyler Adams will link arms in the engine room, and Iraola has few options for change at the back given his current absentees.

As a result, Dean Huijsen and James Hill should form Kepa Arrizabalaga's central barrier, while Lewis Cook and Milos Kerkez operate as the visitors' full-backs.

Bournemouth possible starting lineup: Kepa; Cook, Hill, Huijsen, Kerkez; Adams, Scott; Semenyo, Kluivert, Ouattara; Evanilson
