Everton are eighth after their 2-1 win at Fulham on Saturday
Bournemouth are now six games unbeaten after 1-1 draw with Aston Villa
Recommended bet: Bournemouth to win
Everton are suddenly dreaming of Europe after Saturday's 2-1 comeback win at Fulham hoisted them to eighth in the Premier League, but they are going to have to improve modest home form to achieve their goal.
They should fancy that iffy travellers Bournemouth would ordinarily be there for the taking but Andoni Iraola's men are also in good shape and will be acutely aware that Everton are not that hot at the Hill Dickinson.

Team news
Jack Grealish is Everton's only absentee through injury with Jarrad Branthwaite hoping for a start in defence.
Tyrique George could also be pushing for a start after coming off the bench to help the Toffees come front behind at Fulham.
Marcus Tavernier, Tyler Adams and Ben Gannon Doak are sidelined for the Cherries, with boss Andoni Iraola predicted to make changes so soon after Saturday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.
That could mean starts for the likes of Ryan Christie and David Brooks.

The stats
Everton and Bournemouth are both unbeaten in their last six games.
Bournemouth have won only two of 13 fixtures away from home, yet they have found the net in all but one of those games and scored two or more in eight of them.
Fourteen of the Cherries' 25 games (56 percent) have produced four goals or more, the most in the top flight. On the flip side, just three of Everton's 25 (12 percent) have done likewise.
The last four league meetings between these sides were 0-0 at half-time.

Prediction
Bournemouth's last road trip yielded a 2-0 win at Wolves and while this is a step up in class from what the Old Gold offer, take the Cherries to make it two in a row on their travels at Everton.
Andoni Iraola's men have won only twice away all season yet there were signs of improvement going into the trip to Molineux after draws at Manchester United, Chelsea, Newcastle and Brighton over the last few weeks.
They have never stopped scoring goals away — they have scored two or more in eight of their 13 away matches — and it always felt a turnaround in their fortunes was likely.
Now they have to build on the Wolves win — and the excellent 1-1 home draw with title challengers Aston Villa, a game Iraola's men should have won — and collect more points on Merseyside.
And why not expect that haul to be three points? It is not as though Everton are pulling up trees at home.
David Moyes' men are in good form — no losses in six — but they have not won any of their last five in front of their own fans with a 4-2 Hill Dickinson drubbing by Brentford the low point of a sequence which also includes dreary 1-1 draws against Wolves and Leeds.
At 9/5 with LiveScoreBet, the Cherries look to have a better chance than those odds imply.
Back Bournemouth at 9/5 with LiveScore Bet.
