It’s stating the obvious I know, but Everton really need to take all three points tomorrow when they take on Bournemouth at Goodison Park.
After an awful Christmas and New Year, Everton must return to winning ways as soon as possible and let’s hope they can start on Sunday.
Bournemouth have had a solid season so far and given the Blues dreadful recent home form will be confident they can get the win too. Both teams come into this match level on points with just one place separating them.
The Cherries have played their usual brand of entertaining attacking football this season but they also concede plenty of goals as well.
Eddie Howe’s side usually try to be positive and look to win their games and I expect that to be the case tomorrow.
While the Blues have been struggling to score themselves, having failed to find the back of the net in their last two league matches. And costly defensive errors have crept back into their football.
However like the Toffees, Bournemouth are enduring a poor run recently having lost four of their last five games and looking very vulnerable at the back. And in that run the Cherries have conceded an alarming 15 goals in their last four games.
Given all this it’s a game that’s not very likely to finish goalless. And the first match between the sides finished 2-2 back in August.

The Toffees have a few selection issues to resolve but no new injuries. Will Marco Silva put Richarlison back into the central forward role or persist with Dominic Calvert-Lewin?
And with all three centre-backs available to pick is he going to experiment again with a back three or continue with a flat back four. These are all questions we will find out the answers to tomorrow.
However Everton line up tomorrow, speaking personally, I just want to say that we need those three points tomorrow lads! COYB!!
