The Premier League is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Everton take on Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth side in an important encounter at Goodison Park on Saturday. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and will want to win this game.
Everton vs Bournemouth Preview
Bournemouth are in 14th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best this season. The away side held Newcastle United to a 1-1 draw last week and will look to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Everton, on the other hand, are rooted to the bottom of the league table and have struggled so far this season. The Toffees eased past Doncaster by a 3-0 scoreline in the EFL Cup in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
