Bournemouth vs Everton – Match preview and team news

Bournemouth team news

AFC Bournemouth enter their fixture with a largely settled squad, as head coach Marco Rose confirmed no fresh injury concerns following their recent outing against Manchester City.

The Cherries receive a significant midfield boost with the return of Ryan Christie, who is back in contention after serving a suspension.

Summer signing Alvaro Rodriguez has completed his rehabilitation and is fully fit to feature. However, the squad is still managing several long-term absences; Amine Adli remains sidelined with a calf injury, Eli Junior Kroupi is recovering from a foot issue, Veljko Milosavljevic is out with a knee injury, and Julian Araujo continues to treat a thigh strain.

Left-back Julio Soler is also facing a late fitness evaluation to determine his availability.

A predicted lineup could see Petrovic in goal, protected by a backline of Smith, Hill, Silva, and Truffert, with Cook, Scott, Rayan, Kluivert, and Tavernier supporting central striker Evanilson.

Everton team news

Everton faces late selection dilemmas ahead of the weekend trip, particularly regarding his midfield layout.

In-form midfielder James Garner is expected to start despite recent cautions over his heavy workload. At the same time, Hayden Hackney remains a late fitness test after a rolled ankle kept him out of midweek Carabao Cup action.

The Toffees will definitely be without Christian Nørgaard due to a groin injury and Tim Iroegbunam due to an adductor issue.

On a positive note, striker Thierno Barry provides a massive selection boost, arriving in electric form after netting four goals in his last two matches, including a midweek hat-trick.

The visiting side is expected to deploy a resilient lineup featuring Pickford in goal, a defensive line of O’Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, and Mykolenko, a midfield unit anchored by Garner and potentially Hackney, with George, Dewsbury-Hall, and Ndiaye supporting Barry upfront.

Form

Bournemouth

AFC Bournemouth aim to kickstart their campaign after suffering an agonising 2-1 defeat against Manchester City in their opening match. Marcus Tavernier put the Cherries ahead at the Etihad Stadium, but two late goals shattered their hopes and ended their historic unbeaten streak. Despite leaving Manchester with zero points, head coach Marco Rose will take immense confidence from controlling significant portions of possession against the reigning champions.

Everton

Everton enter the matchday in superb form, carrying a two-game winning streak across all competitions. The Toffees enjoyed a perfect start to their Premier League season with a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace, followed by a dominant 4-0 win against Preston North End in the Carabao Cup. Driven by Thierno Barry’s four goals in two games, David Moyes’ high-flying squad currently occupies fifth place in the standings.

Predicted lineups

Bournemouth: Petrovic; Smith, Hill, Silva, Truffert; Cook, Scott; Rayan, Kluivert, Tavernier; Evalinson

Everton: Pickford; O’Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Garner, Hackney; George, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye; Barry
