Bournemouth v Everton

Bournemouth vs Everton Preview

Bournemouth headed into the international break having put together an encouraging three-match unbeaten sequence in the Premier League following a lively 4-3 home win against Luton Town which helped maintain Andoni Iraola's side's 13th place in the English top flight table, while Everton's miserable winless run in the top flight continued as The Toffees suffered a 2-0 defeat away from home at Manchester United, making it 11 games without a win for Sean Dyche's side.

After having had to endure a winless stretch of seven games in the Premier League which included four defeats at the hands of Tottenham, Liverpool, Fulham and Manchester City, The Cherries have staged a comeback in recent weeks as the south coast club have picked up an important seven points from their last three league matches.

Victories against relegation candidates Burnley and Luton Town in 2-0 and 4-3 wins respectively along with a point gained by way of a 2-2 draw at home with Sheffield United have seen Bournemouth make the most of playing the teams sitting below them in the table and Iraola's side will be looking for more of the same when they play host to Everton on Saturday afternoon.

In addition, Bournemouth have lost just twice in their last nine home games.

Everton slumped to a second defeat on the trot just before the international break as The Toffees were dealt a 2-0 loss at Old Trafford against Manchester United, leaving the merseyside club sitting just two league places and four points above the relegation zone ahead of the Easter period.

The visitors' winless run in the top flight has now extended to 11 games and manager Sean Dyche will be demanding more from his side as they resume their battle against the drop when they make their way down to the south coast to take on Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium as The Toffees also look to halt a six-game winless run on their travels as well.

A 10-point deduction spurred Everton on to produce an impressive four-match winning streak earlier in the season from the start of December which saw Everton claim vital wins against Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, Chelsea and Burnley respectively but ironically when Everton's penalty was reduced to just six points this prompted their current run of games without a win.

Everton have lost four of their last six games on the road, slipping to defeats at the hands of Tottenham, Wolves, Manchester City and Manchester United respectively.

Bournemouth v Everton Verdict

Bournemouth hold a decent record against Everton at home in previous exchanges as The Cherries are unbeaten in their last six encounters at the Vitality Stadium and having won five of these six clashes, Bournemouth look a decent price for the win here.
