The final round of fixtures in the 2022/23 English Premier League season have a lot riding on them in terms of relegation and that includes the meeting between Everton and Bournemouth.
The game will be played at Goodison Park and the hosts begin the day in 17th place on 33 points while the visitors are in 15th place on 39 points.
Everton come into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend in the Premier League. It was Wolves who opened the scoring in the 34th minute and Everton were struggling to get the equaliser. That changed in added time as Everton scored to take a point from the match.
The draw at Wolves means Everton are undefeated in 3 of their 4 most recent fixtures in the Premier League. There have been draws at Leicester City and Wolves plus a tremendous 5-1 victory at Brighton, a result which has put Everton’s fate in their own hands on the final day.
However, Everton have been struggling to win games and they have recorded just 1 victory from their last 10 Premier League fixtures. Recent home form has been poor and Everton have lost each of their last 3 home league matches.
There has been just 1 win in Everton’s last 6 home league games with over 2.5 goals scored in each of their last 3 Premier League matches on home soil.
Bournemouth make the trip to Goodison Park having lost 1-0 at home to Manchester United in the Premier League last weekend. The only goal of the game was scored in the 9th minute and the Cherries could not breakdown the visitors in the time that remained.
The defeat against Manchester United means Bournemouth have lost each of their last 3 matches in the Premier League. The additional defeats have come against Chelsea at home and Crystal Palace away.
Away form in the Premier League shows Bournemouth have won 3 of their last 4 games. They have recorded victories over Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur, and Southampton.
However, the overall away picture does not look great and Bournemouth have won only 4 of their last 15 away Premier League fixtures. They have lost 9 of their last 13 away league matches.
Team news and Everton are without the injured quartet of Tom Davies, Seamus Coleman, Andros Townsend, and Ruben Vinagre. They also have doubts over the fitness of Nathan Patterson, Vitali Mykolenko, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and Ben Godfrey.
Bournemouth are without injured forward Antoine Semenyo. Marcus Tavernier, Hamed Junior Traorè, Ryan Fredericks, and Junior Stanislas are all doubts.
This is a massive game for Everton and Goodison Park will be rocking. Bournemouth have only pride to play for as they are safe which means all the motivation is with the hosts.
Everton should come out on top in this one, with both teams finding the back of the net in what is going to be a thrilling afternoon.
