Evanilson was forced off with a dead leg after he had helped to change the game in the second half against the Black Cats, and Andoni Iraola will hope he is good to go.

The Daily Echo predicts how the Cherries will line up as they look to extend their unbeaten run in midweek.

Goalkeeper

The number one shirt is Djordje Petrovic’s to lose, and he will start again.

Defenders

A settled back four has helped the Cherries improve their defensive record of late, and the consistency of selection will continue against Brentford.

Alex Jimenez will start on the right of defence with Adrien Truffert on the left, while James Hill and Marcos Senesi will partner at centre back.

Midfielders

I expected Tyler Adams to come back into midfield once he was fit enough to start after injury and that came earlier than perhaps expected against West Ham, and the American started again vs Sunderland.

While he has yet to return fully to form, he was a big part of the good start to the season and he will continue on Tuesday.

Alongside him will be Alex Scott, who impressed again at the weekend.

Forwards

Evanilson made a real difference off the bench on Saturday and had he not gone off with a dead leg, he would have been a shoo in to come back into the XI.

If he is fit enough, I think he will start, but if not, I would like to see Rayan deployed through the middle. He has played there for Vasco da Gama in Brazil, and I think his physicality could be a real positive through the middle if Evanilson isn’t fit to start.

I’ll go for Evanilson to start, though, meaning Rayan will start on the right. Marcus Tavernier was good at the weekend and he’ll start again, while Junior Kroupi will drop into the ten.

Full team: Petrovic; Truffert, Senesi, Hill, Jimenez; Adams, Scott; Tavernier, Kroupi, Rayan; Evanilson.
