Everton have won all three of their PL home matches against AFC Bournemouth, scoring 10 goals, and each of the five home clashes in all competitions.

The Toffees are aiming to improve their record in PL fixtures played on a Sunday, having won just two of their last 19 and lost five out of seven this season.

Everton are looking to avoid losing three consecutive PL home matches for the first time since March 2016.

Ryan Fraser has provided nine PL assists this season, the joint-highest number, and could become the first Scottish player to reach double figures in a campaign.
