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

Who will replace Kluivert? How Bournemouth could line up against Fulham

Bournemouth will have to work around the absence of Justin Kluivert for Sunday's Premier League clash with Fulham.

Kluivert has been in excellent form the Cherries this season, scoring six goals and registering two assists in 18 league appearances, but his yellow card against Crystal Palace on Thursday was his fifth in the Premier League this term.

The Dutchman will therefore serve a suspension for the clash with Fulham, which is expected to lead to Philip Billing being introduced.

Marcos Senesi, Julian Araujo, Alex Scott, Luis Sinisterra, Marcus Tavernier and Adam Smith remain on the sidelines, but no fresh issues have been reported following the goalless draw with Palace.

As well as Billing for Kluivert, there may be a change in the final third of the field, with Evanilson pushing to return.

Evanilson has scored four times in 17 Premier League appearances during the 2024-25 campaign, and the striker could replace Enes Unal in the centre-forward spot for the clash in London.

There are unlikely to be any further changes from the goalless draw against Palace, though, with Max Aarons in line for another start at right-back, while Lewis Cook and Ryan Christie are set to continue in the middle for Andoni Iraola's side.

Bournemouth possible starting lineup: Kepa; Aarons, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Christie, Cook; Semenyo, Billing, Ouattara; Evanilson
