Bournemouth lineup vs. Tottenham: Predicted XI for Premier League clash as Antoine Semenyo makes final home appearance

Semenyo's last home hurrah? Predicted Bournemouth XI vs. Spurs

Antoine Semenyo could make his final home appearance for Bournemouth when the Cherries host Tottenham Hotspur in Wednesday's Premier League showdown.

The Ghana international's £65m move to Manchester City has been agreed in principle, but it is still not known when the Cherries will release him for his new adventure.

However, Semenyo is expected to be involved in the visit of Spurs, which is Bournemouth's last home game until January 24, by which point he should be donning a sky blue jersey.

The 25-year-old will likely comprise one-quarter of a familiar attacking contingent on Wednesday, when Marcus Tavernier, David Brooks and Evanilson should all be retained, in spite of Eli Junior Kroupi's fabulous finish in the 3-2 loss to Arsenal.

Tavernier is expected to shift further forward to cover the absence of Kluivert, allowing Lewis Cook - now back from a neck injury - to partner Alex Scott in the engine room.

Alex Jimenez and James Hill appear to have usurped Adam Smith and Bafode Diakite in the defensive pecking order too, and the former pair should also reprise their roles in an unchanged XI.

Tyler Adams (knee), Ben Gannon-Doak (thigh), Ryan Christie (knee), Matai Akinmboni (muscle) and Will Dennis (ankle) will play no part in this one for the hosts, but Veljko Milosavljevic (knee) is training again.

Bournemouth possible starting lineup:

Petrovic; Jimenez, Hill, Senesi, Truffert; Cook, Scott; Semenyo, Tavernier, Brooks; Evanilson
