Bournemouth lineup vs. Brentford: Predicted XI for Premier League game

Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola may have Kepa Arrizabalaga back at his disposal 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 (abductor), Luis Sinisterra (hamstring) and Dango Ouattara (adductor) all missed the 2-1 win over Manchester City last weekend too.

Ouattara and Sinisterra have both been ruled out of this one by Iraola, who admitted to serious concern about the latter's condition, but he was bullish about Kepa's chances of returning.

However, Mark Travers has arguably done more than enough to hold his position, and 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
