Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Bournemouth could line up for Sunday's Premier League clash with Manchester United.

Bournemouth striker Enes Unal has put his name in the hat for a starting role when the Cherries face Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

After netting his side's equaliser in their 2-1 win over Ipswich Town a fortnight ago, the Turkey international struck a glorious free kick to salvage a point in a 1-1 draw with West Ham United on Monday.

While Unal has now scored in consecutive appearances as a substitute, first-choice striker Evanilson has gone five Premier League games without a goal, and the Brazilian's spot is surely now under threat.

Andoni Iraola may very well side with the in-form Unal for Sunday's game, but that should be the only alteration he makes to his attacking setup, as Marcus Tavernier and Luis Sinisterra are still out with thigh problems.

Dango Ouattara should therefore join Unal, Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo in the final third, while Alex Scott's knee problem means that Lewis Cook and Ryan Christie's spots in midfield are safe.

Dean Huijsen has been the beneficiary of Marcos Senesi's own thigh injury, and the 19-year-old should once again protect Kepa Arrizabalaga alongside Ilya Zabarnyi, who is rumoured to be on Paris Saint-Germain's radar.

Adam Smith captains the Cherries from right-back, while in-demand left-back Milos Kerkez struts his stuff against one of his reported admirers.

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