Everton will host Bournemouth at Hill Dickinson Stadium on the back of a five-game unbeaten run.

The Toffees came from behind to beat Fulham 2-1 at Craven Cottage on Saturday. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was instrumental in that comeback and had a hand in both the goals.

Everton haven’t lost since the 4-2 defeat to Brentford at home in their first game of the new year. That improved run has seen them climb to eighth in the league table with 37 points, two points shy of Brentford, who currently occupy the provisional UEFA Conference League qualification spot.

They have been particularly strong away from home, registering seven of their 10 wins on the road. Included among them was the 1-0 win over Bournemouth in the first-round game between them. It was also the Toffees’ first Premier League win at the Vitality Stadium.

With that being said, their home form has left a lot to be desired. David Moyes’ side have won just four league matches at their new waterfront stadium, with their last victory at Hill Dickinson Stadium coming in early December against Nottingham Forest.

Bournemouth are in a great run of form at the moment. Over the last five league matches, only Manchester United and Chelsea have picked up more points than Andoni Iraola’s side, who are unbeaten across that run.

Rayan Vitor scored to cancel out Morgan Rogers’ goal and secured a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa in their most recent outing. The Cherries are currently 11th in the league table with 34 points.

Bournemouth’s form on the road, however, has been dismal with only Wolverhampton Wanderers winning less away from home than the two wins managed by Iraola’s side on their travels.

Everton vs Bournemouth - Team News and Predicted Starting XI

Everton Team News

Everton are currently missing one player due to injury, Jack Grealish. He’s been one of the most important players for the Blues this season and is likely ruled out for the rest of the campaign.

With Jarrad Branthwaite returning from a long-term hamstring injury, it remains to be seen whether he gets the nod over Michael Keane in defence. David Moyes might also be tempted to rest Idrissa Gueye and hand youngster Tyrique George his first Everton start.

Everton’s predicted starting XI: Jordan Pickford (GK), Jake O’Brien, James Tarkowski, Jarrad Branthwaite, Vitalii Mykolenko, James Garner, Harrison Armstrong, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Iliman Ndiaye, Thierno Barry, Tyrique George

We'll start with Keane, remember the 'don't change a winning team' mantra.

Eric, nothing against Keane but surely the absolute dire first halves V Brighton and Fulham should indicate changes are needed and should be implemented, but will they ?

Start O'Brien at CB with Patterson RB. Start Rohl for Gana, and George instead of Armstrong. Might actually win then.
