Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Bournemouth could line up for Saturday's Premier League showdown with Brentford.

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola will welcome Ilya Zabarnyi back to the team with open arms for Saturday's Premier League showdown with Brentford at the Vitality Stadium.

The centre-back completed his three-game ban in last weekend's 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur, where the Cherries threw away a 2-0 advantage in the second half.

Zabarnyi is likely to be thrown straight back into the starting lineup alongside regular defensive partner Dean Huijsen, but both James Hill and Lewis Cook - who has been operating as a makeshift right-back - could still keep their places in the side.

Hill is now an option to fill in at right-back, while Cook could replace Ryan Christie in midfield; the Scotland international is managing a chronic groin injury and could not last the full 90 at the weekend.

Antoine Semenyo was also brought off before the full-time whistle was blown at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but the attacker is only believed to have been suffering from cramp and should therefore be given the all-clear to start.

Semenyo, Justin Kluivert, Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson are primed to link arms in an unchanged attacking quartet, although Dango Ouattara and David Brooks will come into contention if Semenyo's issue is more serious than first feared.

Enes Unal (knee), Marcos Senesi (thigh), Adam Smith (calf) and Julian Araujo (thigh) are still out injured for the hosts.

Bournemouth possible starting lineup:
Kepa; Hill, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Cook, Adams; Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier; Evanilson
