Bournemouth lineup vs. Leicester: Predicted XI for Premier League clash

Semenyo, Evanilson to continue in attack? Predicted Bournemouth lineup vs. Leicester

Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola may name an unchanged starting lineup for Saturday's Premier League clash with Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

The Cherries are only having to cope without one injured player in the form of midfielder Tyler Adams (back), who will be targeting a return after the international break.

Antoine Semenyo and Evanilson were two standout performers in Bournemouth's 3-1 victory at home to Southampton on Monday - both scored, with the latter netting his first goal for the club - and the attacking duo are set to continue in the final third this weekend.

Dango Ouattara was also on target against the Saints, albeit in fortunate circumstances, and he will hope to fend off competition from Luis Sinisterra for another start on the left wing, while Marcus Tavernier is set to battle with Justin Kluivert for the central attacking role in Iraola's XI.

Lewis Cook and Ryan Christie have been ever-present in Bournemouth's midfield and are both set to retain their places, although Alex Scott and Philip Billing will be pushing for a rare start.

Julian Araujo could be recalled to start at right-back at the expense of Adam Smith, joining Illia Zabarnyi, Marcos Senesi and Milos Kerkez in a four-man defence as goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga keeps his spot between the sticks.

Bournemouth possible starting lineup: Kepa; Araujo, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Cook, Christie; Semenyo, Tavernier, Ouattara; Evanilson
