TEAMS PREVIEW

AFC Bournemouth Preview

Bournemouth’s weekend collapse at Sunderland was a gut punch — a 2–0 lead inside 15 minutes wiped out by two set-pieces before ending in a 3–2 defeat. It marked their fifth away loss of the season and a rare setback for a side unbeaten in their previous 10 league games after scoring first. 

Post-match, Andoni Iraola didn’t shy away from his frustration, particularly over the soft set-piece goals conceded — a vulnerability that urgently needs fixing. However, amid the disappointment, there was one clear bright spot—a milestone moment for Amine Adil, who netted his first goal for the club in just his second start of the season. 

Stats that matter

1. Bournemouth ranks second in the league in terms of the number of goals conceded via set-pieces (7).
2. Adams’ 2nd  goal versus Sunderland was the longest long range goal netted (43.5m) in a Premier League game since Caicedo’s 50.5m strike in 2024.
3. Adil became Bournemouth's 10th different goal scorer in the league this season, with Brighton (12) and Arsenal and Chelsea (11 each) having more. 

Team News 

The Cherries will be short-handed for the midweek clash, with their defensive midfielder suspended after his red card at Sunderland, while Marcos Senesi and David Brooks also sit out due to the accumulation of five yellow cards each.

Bournemouth  Probable Starting Lineup -  Petrovic (GK); Jimenez, Diakite, Milosavljevic, Truffert (Defenders); Adams, Scott, Kluivert (Midfielders); Semenyo, Adli, Kroupi (Forwards). 

Everton FC Preview

For Everton, it was a weekend to forget as Sean Dyche’s men were brushed aside 4–1 by Newcastle at the Hill Dickinson Stadium — a deflating blow coming right after their gritty win at Old Trafford. With the game effectively gone by halftime, Dewsbury-Hall’s late goal was mere consolation, and the loss marked their second home defeat in three, with a worrying 7–1 aggregate. 

The match also exposed how vital Idrissa Gueye is to their midfield, as Newcastle cut through far too easily — a problem that will persist with Gueye now serving a three-match ban after his red card against Manchester United.

Stats that matter 

1. It was the first time that Dewsbury-Hall had scored in consecutive games in the Premier League, having scored in the Manchester United game as well.
2. Jack Grealish has been a creative spark, carving out 25 chances in the league this season while chipping in with a goal and four assists.
3. The Toffees have conceded only once in their last two away games in the league. 

Team News 

Aside from their long-term absentees and Idrissa Gueye’s suspension, Everton have no new setbacks. However, Sean Dyche may well consider dropping Tim Iroegbunam after his poor outing, with Alcaraz a likely candidate to step in.

Everton Probable Starting Lineup -  Pickford (GK); O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko (Defenders); Alcaraz, Dewsbury Hall, Garner (Midfielders) ; Ndiaye, Barry, Grealish (Forwards). 

AFC BOURNEMOUTH vs EVERTON FC
Winning Prediction

Bournemouth head into the clash desperate for a win after four winless games, including three defeats. Yet history is on their side — unbeaten in their last eight meetings with Everton and with nine of their last ten home league games undefeated, the Cherries look well-placed to take advantage of a vulnerable Everton side that is missing some key players. 

AFC Bournemouth to win (2-1)
