Justin Kluivert - Solid midfield performance in win Kluivert recorded three shots (two on goal) and created two chances in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Manchester City.

Impact Kluivert played his part in the Cherries stunning win over Manchester City Saturday. He was active in midfield executing two clearances and an interception. In attack he placed two on target efforts, being very unlucky not to score with one of them. He was subbed after 77 minutes. The Dutch international has appeared in every game this season, starting seven of them. He has created two assists and scored from the penalty spot.

Milos Kerkez - Two assists in victory over City Kerkez assisted twice to go with three crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Manchester City.

Impact Kerkez made an outstanding contribution to Bournemouth's stunning victory over Manchester City Saturday by creating the assists for both the Cherries goals. The left back showed why he is rumored to be getting attention from big clubs when he executed three clearances, a block, an interception and in playmaking, three crosses and three long balls. This was the regular starter's first assists, but he is consistently a high performer in defense and creating attacks down the left flank.

Evanilson - Scores in victory over City Evanilson scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 win over Manchester City.

Impact Evanilson was heavily marked by the formidable Manchester City backline Saturday but showed his pace and striker's instincts by producing two on target attempts, one landing in the back of the net. The Brazilian is starting to find his feet with his Cherries team mates, he has now scored in back to back games.

Antoine Semenyo - Scores in world-class performance Semenyo scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal), one cross (not accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Manchester City.

Impact Semenyo demonstrated again Saturday why top clubs are expressing interest in the 24-year-old Ghanaian. He was the most impressive player on the pitch, using his physical strength and boundless energy to win engagements, make dangerous searching runs and threaten the goal. He was marked by Kyle Walker who frankly could not keep the lid on him. He scored the game's opening goal, placed another effort on target and had two attempts blocked. With four goals and an assist to his name so far he will inevitably chalk up more strikes in coming games.

Mark Travers - Bold performance in win over City Travers recorded three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Manchester City.

Impact Ironically Travers was not called into action much Saturday in the Cherries victory over Manchester City. He was only required to make three saves, including an outstanding point blank stop to deny Erling Haaland. It was the Irish international's second consecutive start and he has posted strong performances in both. Regular keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga is out with a thigh injury but he may be under pressure to resume his starting position given the Irishman's current form.

Tyler Adams - Recovering well Adams (back) is recovering well as he ramps up his fitness, according to manager Andoni Iraola. "We know that he has only played 15/20 minutes in the past months, but I see him in...

Impact Adams recovered from a back injury and played nine minutes against Aston Villa last time out. He's not ready for major minutes as he still needs to build match fitness, but it seems the holding midfielder is progressing nicely with his recovery.

Dango Ouattara - Likely out Saturday Ouattara is a heavy doubt for Saturday's clash with Manchester City, according to manager Andoni Iraola. "I think it's very unlikely also to have Dango [Ouattara] because he felt s...

Impact Ouattara is facing an uphill battle to get fit for Saturday's clash, and suffering an injury so late in the week makes that chance extremely minimal. The winger would certainly be a blow after starting three of the last four matches. With Luis Sinisterra (knock) already ruled out Marcus Tavernier will more likely than not return to the starting XI for Saturday's match.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Philip Billing - Ready to return Billing (illness) is available for Saturday's clash with Manchester City, per manager Andoni Iraola. "[Philip] Billing, yes, because it was an illness, so after two or three days o...

Impact Billing missed out against Aston Villa due to illness, but as expected he's straight back in the team. The midfielder has made just two appearances this season, so even when fit he's not a major piece of the first team.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Sinisterra - Out once more Sinisterra (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's clash with Manchester City, per manager Andoni Iraola. "Kepa [Arrizabalaga] will not be available against City and [Luis] Sinisterra...

Impact Sinisterra isn't an option for Saturday as he struggles with a knock. The injury was reportedly nothing big, but has now ruled him out for two matches in a row. The winger has been little more than an option off the bench, so his absence shouldn't change much in the starting XI.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Kepa Arrizabalaga - Out Saturday Arrizabalaga (thigh) is out for Saturday's clash with Manchester City, according to manager Andoni Iraola. "Kepa [Arrizabalaga] will not be available against City and Luis Sinister...

Impact Arrizabalaga is set for a spell on the sideline due to the same thigh injury that ruled him out against Villa. The goalkeeper now has just one more chance to return before the November international break. Mark Travers will get the start for Saturday's match with Arrizabalaga out.

Justin Kluivert - Two shots in draw with Villa Kluivert had two shots (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 10th minute.

Impact Kluivert started in an attacking midfield role tucked in behind the Cherries central striker, Enes Unal. The Dutchman was lively, firing two threatening efforts at goal, one being on target. He was subbed after 64 minutes. The 25-year-old has appeared in all EPL games this season, starting six of the nine. He usually makes a positive difference to games as he demonstrated in Bournemouth's last against Arsenal where he created an assist and netted a penalty.

Marcus Tavernier - Assists late equalizer Tavernier assisted once to go with one shot (not on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa. In addition, he was given a yello...

Impact Tavernier came on from the bench Saturday after 64 minutes replacing Justin Kluivert. He assumed his usual role as one of the team's key playmakers, taking corners, three crosses and having a shot blocked. His set piece free kick was met by Evanilson to earn the Cherries a point from the match. Tav is usually a starter, this was the first game he began from the bench and the assist was his second in four matches.

Evanilson - Grabs last minute equalizer Evanilson scored one goal to go with one shot (on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Aston Villa.

Impact Evanilson started from the bench Saturday for the first time this season. Enes Unal took his role as central striker but following a lackluster contribution the Brazilian replaced him after 64 minutes. It turned out to be a wise replacement, he scored with almost the final kick of the game with his only shot on target to earn the Cherries a point from the game. It was his second of the season but he is growing in confidence, we can expect many more strikes from him this season.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Mark Travers - Outstanding performance in Villa Park draw Travers registered seven saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.

Impact Travers made his second appearance of the season Saturday replacing usual starter Kepa Arrizabalaga who has a minor thigh injury. The Irish international put in a yeoman's performance consisting of seven saves, two punches and four clearances. His contribution undoubtedly ensured that the Cherries did not concede three points from the match. Kepa is likely to be back before Bournemouth's next against Manchester City which will relegate him back to the bench, but this performance was worthy of any starting EPL goalkeeper.

Philip Billing - Out with illness Billing wasn't in the squad to face Aston Villa on Saturday due to illness, reports Alexander Smith of the Bournemouth Daily Echo.

Impact Billing missed out on Saturday's match after picking up the injury in the buildup. The midfielder will hope to recover in time for next week's match with Manchester City.

Kepa Arrizabalaga - Dealing with thigh injury Kepa was not in the squad that faced Aston Villa on Saturday due to a thigh injury, reports Alexander Smith of the Bournemouth Daily Echo.

Impact Kepa was replaced in the starting XI by Mark Travers with the Spanish international's extent of injury not fully determined. Kepa will hope to recover in time to face Manchester City next weekend.

Luis Sinisterra - Set for sideline Sinisterra (knock) is out for Saturday's trip to Aston Villa, according to manager Andoni Iraola. "Sini is not going to travel. It's nothing big but he was with some issues after t...

Impact Sinisterra will likely be back for a Nov, 2 clash with Manchester City, but if he's not fit there he instead would return Nov. 9 against Brentford. The winger is a key option off the bench, but hasn't started for Bournemouth since the Premier League opener in August.

Alex Scott - Set for extended spell out Scott (knee) is going to miss more than six weeks after having his meniscus removed, according to manager Andoni Iraola."It will be more [than six weeks], but I don't know how much...

Impact Scott went under the knife to get a meniscus injury repaired and is now set for more than six weeks out. The midfielder will hope to return before the busy Christmas period, though it seems his timeline will be right around then. Scott has been a consistent option off the bench for the Cherries, but has failed to really take a step into the starting XI.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Scott - Out with meniscus injury Scott has undergone a successful procedure to repair a meniscus injury sustained earlier this week in training, the club confirmed Thursday.

Impact There's no timetable for Scott's return to action, but a procedure to repair a meniscus injury doesn't sound like something that would grant the midfielder a quick return to the field. It wouldn't be surprising if Scott is sidelined until after the November international break at the earliest.

Marcus Tavernier - Three shots in victory over Arsenal Tavernier generated three shots (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-0 win against Arsenal.

Impact Tavernier was one of the Cherries key playmakers Saturday, executing three crosses. He also managed three shots, one on target, one blocked and was subbed after 63 minutes. The midfielder is a regular starter and has contributed a goal and an assist.

OCTOBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Antoine Semenyo - Six shots in victory over Gunners Semenyo registered six shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Arsenal. In addition, he was given a yellow card in...

Impact Semenyo was his usual physical self Saturday. He always seemed to have the better of Arsenal's defense when attacking and managed six shots, one on target and two blocked. The Ghanaian international is currently the Cherries top scorer with three strikes, he has also delivered an assist. With his natural athleticism, and fearless nature to strike at goal, he will inevitably be a regular scorer for the Cherries.
