Bournemouth lineup vs. Aston Villa: Predicted XI for Premier League clash

Super subs to start? How Bournemouth could line up against Villa

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

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has the best kind of selection dilemmas to solve for Saturday's Premier League clash with Aston Villa at Villa Park.

The Cherries head north on the back of a brilliant 2-0 victory over 10-man Arsenal last weekend, where Ryan Christie and Justin Kluivert came off the bench to score in the second half.

Both men are strong candidates to return to the first XI here, and Kluivert's game-changing cameo should see him rewarded with a recall to the starting lineup, likely in place of Dango Ouattara.

The Dutchman would comprise part of a familiar attack with Antoine Semenyo, Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson if that is the case, but Christie may have to be content with another substitute outing.

Lewis Cook and Alex Scott both earned their keep in midfield against Arsenal, and neither deserves to lose their spot, and the same goes for Kepa Arrizabalaga, Marcos Senesi, Ilya Zabarnyi and Milos Kerkez in defence.

However, Julian Araujo only lasted until half time in the win over Arsenal before being replaced by Adam Smith, who will likely replace his more junior colleague from the first whistle on Saturday.

Tyler Adams was back on the bench against the Gunners after recovering from a back injury, meaning that Iraola boasts a clean bill of health for the trip to Villa Park.

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