Bournemouth will be without goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga for Saturday's Premier League clash with Manchester City at the Vitality Stadium.

Kepa missed the Cherries' 1-1 draw at Aston Villa last weekend due to a "small" thigh injury, and head coach Andoni Iraola has since confirmed that the Chelsea loanee is not ready to return, meaning Mark Travers will continue between the sticks.

Bournemouth will also be without Alex Scott (knee) and Luis Sinisterra (muscle), while Dango Ouattara (unspecified) is "very unlikely" to feature, but Philip Billing has trained and is available for selection after missing the draw with Villa through illness.

Iraola will consider recalling Adam Smith at right-back in place of Julian Araujo, while Illia Zabarnyi, Marcos Senesi and Milos Kerkez should all retain their positions in the back four.

Ryan Christie, who scored in a 2-0 win at home to Arsenal a fortnight ago, is expected to link arms with Lewis Cook in centre-midfield, while Marcus Tavernier is set to be recalled in the absence of Ouattara, and either he or Justin Kluivert could move out onto the left flank.

Antoine Semenyo should continue on the right side of attack, while Evanilson will be hoping to force his way back into the first XI ahead of ex-Man City striker Enes Unal after scoring a late equaliser as a substitute against Villa.

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