Bournemouth predicted XI vs. Ipswich Town: Possible starting lineup for Premier League clash at Portman Road

How Tottenham-toppling Bournemouth could line up against Ipswich Town

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola will be grateful that only two players will certainly miss out on Sunday against Ipswich Town, with midfielder Alex Scott and defender Julian Araujo unavailable for selection.

Centre-back Marcos Senesi will soon return from injury but is a doubt, so perhaps he will be rested in preparation for the busy Christmas schedule.

In defence, the Cherries could name an unchanged back four from their win against Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday, with Adam Smith, Illia Zabarnyi, Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez likely to start.

Tyler Adams and Ryan Christie have started together in a double pivot for Bournemouth in their last two matches, and given their excellent performances against Spurs, they could be rewarded with a third consecutive start.

However, given Adams's injury issues in recent years, it would not be surprising if he was taken off shortly after half time for someone like Lewis Cook.

Luis Sinisterra has not featured for his club since playing against Arsenal on October 19, but he could return to the squad on Sunday.

If Sinisterra is not deemed ready to start, fans can expect to see a forward line consisting of Antoine Semenyo, Justin Kluivert, Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson.

Bournemouth possible starting lineup: Arrizabalaga; Smith, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Adams, Christie; Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier; Evanilson
