Bournemouthvs.Spurs

sportsmole.co.uk, 3 December 2024, 21:20
Bournemouth could be without up to four players for Thursday's Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur at the Vitality Stadium.

Alex Scott (knee), Julian Araujo and Luis Sinisterra (both hamstring) all remain sidelined with injuries, while Lewis Cook is doubtful with a muscle problem that forced him to miss last weekend's 4-2 win away against Wolves.

Antoine Semenyo also missed the win at Molineux through suspension, but he is available for selection on Thursday and is expected to start in attack at the expense of David Brooks.

While Semenyo operates on the right, Marcus Tavernier could continue on the left as last weekend's hat-trick hero Justin Kluivert retains his spot in a central role in behind striker Evanilson.

The potential absence of Cook could see Andoni Iraola stick with Tyler Adams and Ryan Christie in centre-midfield, with Philip Billing set to provide cover as a substitute once again.

Milos Kerkez was on the scoresheet in the win over Wolves and the attack-minded left-back is set to be joined in a four-man defence by Marcos Senesi, Illia Zabarnyi and Adam Smith, who will all protect goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga between the sticks.

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