Our prediction for the match Everton vs Bournemouth
“The Toffees” were the main figures in the fines for violating the rules of financial fair play last season. Still, Dyche had prepared the team so well by that time that even after they took away points, the club managed to finish in 15th place. “The Cherries” finished Iraola’s first year in England with 48 points, which was the twelfth result of that tournament.
Andoni compensated for even the summer sale of Solanke in the new championship. His wards are one of the surprises of the Premier League. Winning a lot, including the games against the big clubs, the team feels more and more confident among the contenders for the European competition. Still, Liverpool cooled down a little, winning with a 2-0 score. “The Toffees” slept through the start, but the situation more or less levelled out, but not for the new owners, who brought Moyes back to the coaching position. The mentor started with a defeat made by Aston Villa, but then beat both Tottenham and Brighton. And Leicester was completely routed – 4-0.
“The Blues” had learned about Dyche’s dismissal literally a couple of hours before the start of the cup. Nevertheless, that did not stop them from beating modest Peterborough – 2-0. Kluivert and the company smashed West Bromwich with a 5-1 score in January, although they conceded first at the home arena.
