Ever-present Adams out so midfield changes due for Chelsea visit: Predicted team

While Marcos Senesi and David Brooks have both served their yellow card suspensions, ever-present Tyler Adams is now out after his fifth booking on Tuesday night in the 1-0 defeat to Everton.

With Lewis Cook also suspended and Ryan Christie injured, Andoni Iraola will be forced into something different in midfield – and he may make changes elsewhere after a poor performance against the Toffees.

The Daily Echo predicts how the Cherries will line up.

**Goalkeeper**

**Djordje Petrovic** was solid on Tuesday and did well in commanding his box in particular, and he has been Iraola’s number one. He will start again.

**Defenders**

**Adrien Truffert** continues to impress at left back and **Alex Jimenez** was one of the better parts of Tuesday night’s game against Everton. I think that pair will continue, while **Marcos Senesi** will likely return at centre back.

I think Iraola will opt for the more experienced **Bafode Diakite** alongside the Argentine over Veljko Milosavljevic after both centre backs played well in midweek.

**Midfielders**

With Tyler Adams suspended, Iraola will have a decision to make as to who starts alongside **Alex Scott**.

With Cook and Christie also out, there are no other recognised centre midfielders in the squad – so I think Iraola will opt for **Marcus Tavernier** to start there, despite a poor showing off the bench on Tuesday.

Tavernier has played deeper before and looked impressive, so Iraola may feel that is his only option.

All four forwards struggled on Tuesday night. **Antoine Semenyo** had a quiet game but he is the Cherries talisman and can win them games, so he will start again.

Junior Kroupi replaced **Evanilson** and had a tough game against the physical Everton back line. I think Evanilson will come back in.

**David Brooks** I think will start again after his suspension, while **Justin Kluivert** will also be in from the beginning.
