Latest Bournemouth vs Brentford team information
Bournemouth continue to be without striker Enes Unal due to a cruciate ligament injury, while midfielder Lewis Cook is also sidelined with a knee problem.
In that context, Evanilson is likely to start up front in midweek, supported by Justin Kluivert – who could replace Marcus Tavernier behind the striker. Alex Scott could partner Ryan Christie in midfield.
On the flanks, Antoine Semenyo could be pushed to the left if Iraola prioritises cup competition, while new signing Ben Doak – a substitute against Wolves – could make his debut on the right.
As for Brentford, centre-back Ethan Pinnock is unlikely to recover from a hamstring injury in time, so Nathan Collins and Sepp van den Berg are likely to continue to play together in central defence. Aaron Hickey could make his first start in nearly two years out due to injury, at right-back.
In addition, midfielder Vitaly Janelt is not expected to return until next month. Jordan Henderson could partner Frank Onyeka in midfield.
Brentford's attack is also without Gustavo Nunes due to a hamstring injury, so Dango Ouattara is likely to start against his former club, Kevin Schade plays on the opposite wing, and Igor Thiago leads the attack.

Latest Bournemouth vs Brentford football review
Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth side opened the 2025-26 season with an impressive performance against Liverpool at Anfield. Despite Antoine Semenyo scoring twice and a resilient team, they were defeated 4-2 on the opening day of the Premier League.
However, Bournemouth quickly bounced back to take all three points in their first home game of the season, beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 on Saturday thanks to Marcus Tavernier's fourth-minute strike.
After seeing Crystal Palace win the FA Cup last season and Newcastle United lift the League Cup, the Cherries have been given renewed confidence that clubs outside the “big six” can still win trophies.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth will be eyeing Palace competing in European competition for the first time in the club's history, and see cup competitions as a possible route to their season's goals.
Bournemouth started impressively last season but ran out of steam towards the end of the Premier League season, missing out on European football, so they will want to have a backup plan in case a similar scenario repeats itself.
Meanwhile, Keith Andrews' Brentford have endured a turbulent summer following the departure of long-time manager Thomas Frank to Tottenham, along with star Bryan Mbeumo joining Manchester United.
In addition, Yoane Wissa also put pressure on him to move to Newcastle, leading to his recent exclusion from the squad.
Amidst that turmoil, Brentford started their new reign badly when they lost 1-3 to Nottingham Forest in the opening round, conceding all three goals in the first half.
However, Andrews's side bounced back with a 1-0 win over Unai Emery's Aston Villa, thanks to a goal on the debut of Dango Ouattara - a record £42.5m signing who coincidentally left Bournemouth just over a week earlier.
However, that performance did not completely convince fans as Brentford only had 24% possession. However, they created more dangerous chances than their opponents and kept a clean sheet, showing the balance between attacking power and solidity in defense.
