Everton vs Bournemouth Prediction
Everton are currently 17th in the league and have won only one of their last five league games. With one game left to go, they are two points behind 18th-placed Leicester City; Sean Dyche will have to utilise everything he has to ensure he leads his side in the Premier League next season.
Not many are surprised by Everton's plight though. One of England's biggest clubs has been in crisis mode for some time now. A bad transfer strategy combined with erratic managerial appointments and poor decisions from higher-ups has left the club in a dire state.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, are 15th in the league, and have defied expectations by ensuring Premier League safety. Manager Gary O'Neil deserves credit for what he has achieved with this side; few expected them to ensure safety a few weeks before the end of the season.
They made some savvy winter signings after a troubled start to their league campaign and benefitted from performances like Philip Billing, Marcus Tavernier, and Dominic Solanke.
Everton have a lot riding on this game, and a Dyche masterclass should not surprise many. A narrow win for the Toffees.
Prediction: Everton 1-0 Bournemouth
