Bournemouthvs.Nott'm Forest

Evanilson (foot), Enes Unal (ACL), Alex Scott (knee), James Hill, Marcos Senesi, Julian Araujo, Marcus Tavernier and Luis Sinisterra (all thigh) and Adam Smith (muscle) are all sidelined with injuries, while Julio Soler is away on international duty with Argentina at the South American Under-20 Championship.

Andoni Iraola is therefore unlikely to make too many changes, if any, to the side that deservedly beat Newcastle United 4-1 last weekend, with Lewis Cook set to continue at right-back and join Illia Zabarnyi, Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez in the back four.

Justin Kluivert scored a stunning hat-trick at Newcastle and the in-form Dutchman will likely operate in the number 10 role as Ryan Christie - another standout performer last time out - continues in a deeper midfield role alongside Tyler Adams.

Antoine Semenyo scored for Bournemouth in a 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest on the opening day of the season back in August; he played as a central striker that day but he is expected to operate on the left flank this weekend.

David Brooks is set to play on the right wing, while Dango Ouattara, who has contributed to four goals (three goals, one assist) in his last five appearances, is poised to lead the line, with Daniel Jebbison offering cover on the substitutes' bench.

Bournemouth possible starting lineup: Kepa; Cook, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Christie, Adams; Brooks, Kluivert, Semenyo; Ouattara
