Comments and predictions for Everton vs Bournemouth: Dramatic win

Latest Everton vs Bournemouth team information

Everton fans are expecting Moyes to field his full squad for this game, however, with the important Merseyside derby on Wednesday, rotation is entirely possible.

With Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Armando Broja and Youssef Chermiti all on the injury list, Beto is likely to take the centre-forward position. Meanwhile, Iliman Ndiaye remains an irreplaceable name in attack.

Dwight McNeil is also out injured, but the good news is that James Garner and Tim Iroegbunam have recovered from injuries and could feature. New signing Carlos Alcaraz, who has just joined on loan from Flamengo, could also make his debut in this match.

Coach Iraola often rotated Bournemouth's squad in previous rounds, and this ability could be repeated in the next match, even though the opponent is stronger and the team is facing many difficulties in terms of force due to injuries.

Bournemouth are without loanee Max Aarons as well as right-backs Julian Araujo, James Hill and Adam Smith. Centre-back Marcos Senesi is also sidelined with a thigh problem.

Dango Ouattara continues to fill in at striker as Evanilson and Enes Unal are yet to return. Luis Sinisterra and Alex Scott, who could be given a chance to play, are also recovering from injuries.

Latest expected lineup for Everton vs Bournemouth

Everton:

Pickford; Patterson, Tarkowski, Keane, Young; Harrison, Garner, Gueye, Iroegbunam, Ndiaye; Beto

Bournemouth:

Kepa; Cook, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Adams, Winterburn, Brooks; Tavernier, Jebbison, Ouattara

Latest Everton vs Bournemouth football commentary

After a difficult start to their FA Cup third round campaign at home to Peterborough United without a permanent manager and deep in a relegation battle, Everton have made positive changes in less than a month, appointing a new manager and escaping the relegation zone.

David Moyes' return to the club marks his second spell at the club. Despite losing his first game, he has guided the team to three consecutive wins - the first by a team outside the Premier League's top eight this season - to put Everton nine points clear of the relegation zone.

Sean Dyche has only managed three wins in 19 league games this season, while Moyes has managed the same number in just four since taking charge. Leighton Baines and Seamus Coleman took temporary charge of the third-round win over Posh.

With relegation looming, Everton fans will be hoping for a memorable cup run to warm up the atmosphere in the final months of the season, as they have not reached a final since 2009, under Moyes.

It is 30 years since Everton won this competition, their last major trophy, and on their last two visits to Wembley they were beaten in the semi-finals by Liverpool and Manchester United.

Playing at home will be a huge advantage, as Everton have won eight of their last 10 FA Cup games at Goodison, however, they did lose at home in the fourth round last season, to Luton Town.

Luton have made things difficult for Everton in the past, and Bournemouth have done the same regularly, winning seven of their last nine meetings, including both league meetings this season.

Despite this, Bournemouth have not beaten a club three times in a season since 2012-13 (vs Carlisle United). Everton have won both FA Cup meetings between the two sides (1937 and 2016).

History favors the visitors as they have the chance to reach the fifth round in consecutive seasons for the first time, however, coach Andoni Iraola may not see this as a top priority as he is fighting for a top-four spot and a Champions League ticket.

Bournemouth have only progressed past the fourth round four times in their history and have been knocked out at this stage 11 times.

Iraola's side went further last season, but were knocked out by Leicester City in the fifth round. They last reached the FA Cup quarter-finals in 2021, their best run in the club's history.

Bournemouth, who have never qualified for European competition before, have a good chance of doing so this season, sitting just one point off fifth place, which would be enough to secure a place in next season's Champions League.

This also means that the top 8 will all have the opportunity to qualify for European cup competitions. Currently, Bournemouth is 4 points ahead of ninth-placed Fulham, creating a difficult situation for coach Iraola in choosing the squad.
