EPL: Everton v Bournemouth preview


Everton v Bournemouth preview

Two teams currently in the bottom three meet at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon, when Everton play host to Bournemouth.


The Toffees have lost their last three games in the Premier League and conceded a total of nine goals against Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United while not scoring any themselves.

That run has seen them slip to 18th and put pressure on Ronald Koeman's position after spending big money on transfers this summer, but they will expect a better return over the coming weeks.

After Saturday's clash, Everton will face Burnley (h) and Brighton (a) in the league and they will have been boosted by their midweek League Cup success over Sunderland.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored twice against the Black Cats and is pushing for a start, although Koeman is expected to recall the likes of Wayne Rooney, Jordan Pickford and Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Bournemouth have been dealt a blow ahead of the game with the news that Tyrone Mings faces at least a month on the sidelines, after the defender suffered a back injury.

Eddie Howe is expected to include Junior Stanislas in his squad, after the former West Ham man featured for the first time since May in the League Cup win over Brighton.

Two wins in a week over the Seagulls would have helped confidence in the Cherries' camp, but the head-to-head stats don't make good reading for the visitors, who have lost on their only two previous trips to Goodison - 6-3 last season and 2-1 in 2015-16.
