Bournemouth vs Everton: Match Preview
Despite appearing victorious against most of the Premier League giants, Bournemouth have failed to record dominance recently, sharing stalemates against Crystal Palace and Fulham before this fixture. However, the Cherries are undefeated in the previous seven league outings while winning four. But the home performance has lacked consistency, winning only one of the previous four games at Vitality Stadium. Having eight wins and six draws in 19 rounds, Bournemouth find themselves in the seventh position on the points table.
After frightful draws against mighty Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea, Everton’s recent improvements hit a setback with a defeat against Nottingham in the last game. The Toffees staged home for Forest and suffered a 0-2 loss, conceding goals from Chris Wood and Morgan Gibbs-White. Everton are also winless in the last five games away from Goodison Park, losing against Southampton and Manchester United. With only three victories in 18 games, Everton are sixteenth in the standings, two points above the relegation zone.
