In-form Everton eye rare league double over Bournemouth

Everton host Bournemouth in the Premier League at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Tuesday night.

The Toffees secured a 2-1 comeback victory at Fulham in their last Premier League outing at the weekend.

The Cherries held Aston Villa to a 1-1 stalemate last time out in the Premier League.

Match preview

Following their 1-0 win at the Vitality Stadium in December, Everton are looking to complete the league double over Bournemouth for the very first time.

Bournemouth have lost six of their eight away league games against Everton, though they did come from 2-0 down to win this exact fixture 3-2 last season.

Each of the last four Premier League meetings between Everton and Bournemouth has been 0-0 at half-time, with each of the last 11 goals in this fixture coming in the second half.

The Toffees have won just eight points in their last eight Premier League home matches (W2 D2 L4), as many as they won in their first four this season at the Hill Dickinson Stadium (W2 D2).

The Cherries have picked up just seven points in 17 away Premier League games on Merseyside against Everton and Liverpool (W2 D1 L14), failing to keep a single clean sheet in those 17 games (49 goals conceded).

Bournemouth are looking for back-to-back away Premier League victories for the first time since February 2025, while they last had consecutive clean sheets on the road in December 2023.

Everton boss David Moyes has lost just one of his 10 Premier League meetings with Bournemouth (W5 D4 L1).

Thierno Barry has scored three goals in his last five home Premier League appearances for Everton, having not scored in seven beforehand. Barry last scored in consecutive home league appearances in May 2024 for Basel at St Jakob-Park.
