Eddie Howe’s Cherries will be hoping that the luck they received on Boxing Day will stay with them throughout the festive period, as they welcome Everton to the Vitality Stadium. The Cherries salvaged a point injury time against West Ham in rather controversial fashion and whilst the fallout from the game rumbles on, attention turns towards avoiding the drop.

FC EvertonBournemouth
The Cherries are in the midst of a 9 match run without a win in all competitions which has left them in the relegation zone. Eddie Howe’s men are 18th in the standings, with only 17 points from their opening 20 games and they have only won 4 games all season. Callum Wilson bagged his 6th goal of the season against West Ham and he’ll be hoping to keep his good run going against the Toffees.
Everton
Sam Allardyce has invigorated Everton’s season and the Toffees are yet to lose a game with ‘Big Sam’ at the helm. Everton are now in 9th place, with a tally of 27 points to their name from their opening 20 games and they are in the midst of a 7-game Premier League unbeaten run. Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been asked to lead the line in the absence of Wayne Rooney though injury and the young Englishman now has 6 goals for the season.
Head to Head
Everton have a dominant 7:1 lead in the head to head record between themselves and Bournemouth, whilst the two sides have shared an additional 1 draw previously. Everton came from behind in September to win 2-1 at Goodison Park thanks to the returning Oumar Niasse who bagged two late goals in what proved to be Ronald Koeman’s final home win in charge.
