Everton can complete a league double over Bournemouth.
Everton will aim to continue an unlikely push for European football by completing a Premier League double over Bournemouth.
David Moyes’ men came from behind on Saturday to claim a 2-1 win at Fulham thanks to a Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall effort and a Bernd Leno own goal.
The Toffees sit just two points behind sixth-placed Liverpool heading into the visit of the Cherries, who were undone by a 78th-minute strike from Jack Grealish in the reverse fixture.
Grealish will not feature in this game having suffered a season-ending foot injury, though victory may still be a tough ask for Bournemouth, with Andoni Iraola’s men having won just twice away from home all season.
But Bournemouth do head into the game aiming to make it six games unbeaten in the league. They have not lost in the Premier League since a 3-2 home defeat to Arsenal on January 3. Since then, they have beaten Tottenham, Liverpool and Wolves and claimed draws with Brighton and Hove Albion and Aston Villa. They were knocked out of the FA Cup by Newcastle United, but only after a penalty shootout.
