Bournemouth team news, focus
After coming on and scoring the equalizer against Sunderland on Saturday, Evanilson then came off with an injury and is a doubt. Justin Kluivert, Lewis Cook, Ben Gannon-Doak and Julio Soler remain out. Iraola could start Enes Unal up top with Ryan Christie perhaps coming in for USMNT midfielder Tyler Adams as the latter has his minutes managed after just coming back from injury.
Brentford team news, focus
Kelleher should be back in goal after missing the trip to Burnley due to his partner giving birth to twins. Fabio Carvalho, Aaron Hickey, Antoni Milambo and Josh Dasilva all remain out injured, while Vitaly Janelt is a serious doubt. The Bees will likely rotate a little with Jordan Henderson, Nathan Collins and Keane Lewis-Potter all contenders to start.
Bournemouth vs Brentford prediction
Expect goals galore in this one as both teams will go for it in search of boosting their European hopes. Bournemouth 3-2 Brentford.
