Strong 11 expected to face Hammers despite injuries: Predicted team _(Image: PA)_
THE Cherries will be without a host of first team players as they welcome West Ham to the south coast on Monday night.
This week, it was confirmed that Marcos Senesi and Marcus Tavernier would join the list of Bournemouth’s injured players, which also includes Alex Scott, Julian Araujo and Luis Sinisterra.
But the [Cherries](http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/cherries/clubnews/) will still have a strong 11 to call upon for the visit of the Hammers and will benefit from a slightly extended recovery period since their last game at Ipswich on Sunday.
Here’s how the Daily Echo thinks Andoni Iraola’s side will line up on Monday.
**Goalkeeper**
Loanee **Kepa Arrizabalaga** has made the goalkeeping position his own of late, with some solid performances in the Cherries net, and he will continue on Monday night.
**Defenders**
Iraola is likely to name an unchanged back four to that which started at Ipswich and kept a clean sheet against Spurs last week.

With the news that Senesi will be out for the coming months, **Dean Huijsen** is set for a run of games in the side, with the young Spaniard impressing in recent games.
**Illia Zabarnyi** was excellent at Portman Road and will continue as an ever-present in the Cherries back line this season.
**Midfielders**
_(Image: Bradley Collyer/PA Wire)_ **Lewis Cook** and **Ryan Christie** started alongside one another at Ipswich after the former missed out at Wolves through a knock and was on the bench against Spurs, while the latter was suspended against Brighton.
They will likely line up together once again against the Hammers, and **Tyler Adam**s, who missed the trip to Suffolk as a precaution, could return with Tavernier ruled out.
**Forwards**
With Tavernier out through injury, Iraola may opt for a three-man midfield, as predicted here, or he may opt to start goalscorer at Ipswich Dango Ouattara.

_Full team: Kepa; Kerkez, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Smith; Cook, Christie, Adams; Kluivert, Semenyo, Evanilson._
