Bournemouth’s impressive run of form continued with a resilient performance against Fulham, as they twice came from behind to secure a 2-2 draw.
The result extended their unbeaten streak in the Premier League to seven matches, showcasing their ability to remain competitive in challenging situations. Notably, Dango Ouattara’s 89th-minute equaliser marked the Cherries’ tenth league goal scored beyond the 85th minute this season, a league-leading statistic that underscores their reputation for late-game heroics.
This knack for dramatic finishes was on full display in their last encounter with Everton, where Bournemouth staged a thrilling comeback by scoring three goals in the final stages to clinch a remarkable 3-2 victory. That result, coupled with their run of four consecutive home wins against Everton, gives Andoni Iraola’s side a significant psychological advantage heading into this clash. Another victory here could propel Bournemouth into the top five, depending on results elsewhere, further fueling their ambitions for the season.
Everton, meanwhile, are looking to bounce back after a disappointing 2-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest. That result dampened the optimism built during a recent run in which they suffered only one defeat in seven matches. However, the high number of draws during that period highlights their struggle to convert opportunities into victories, leaving them with just one win in their last ten league outings. As a result, the Toffees find themselves nervously close to the relegation zone, with the gap reduced to just two points.
One of Everton’s most pressing issues has been their misfiring attack, which remains a glaring problem under Sean Dyche. The Toffees ended 2024 having scored just 31 league goals—the lowest tally among all ever-present Premier League clubs for the calendar year. This lack of firepower has been particularly evident on the road, where they’ve failed to score in four of their last five away matches. Turning this trend around will be crucial if they hope to start 2025 on a stronger note.
For Bournemouth, Dango Ouattara continues to be a key figure in their attacking setup. His late equaliser against Fulham was his fourth direct goal contribution in his last five matches, with all of these coming in the second half. Ouattara’s ability to influence games late on makes him a critical player for Bournemouth, particularly against an Everton side struggling for consistency.
Everton’s Ashley Young will likely be one of the players tasked with containing Ouattara. However, the veteran defender’s recent disciplinary record could be a concern, as he has picked up a yellow card in four of his last seven appearances. Maintaining composure while dealing with Bournemouth’s dynamic attackers will be crucial for Young and his teammates.
Adding to Bournemouth’s confidence is their impressive home record against Everton. They are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League meetings with the Toffees at home, making this their best such record against any side in the competition. This stronghold at the Vitality Stadium has been a cornerstone of their success in this fixture, and they’ll be eager to extend it further.
This match presents contrasting narratives for the two teams. Bournemouth are riding a wave of positivity and resilience, while Everton are searching for solutions to their persistent attacking woes. With plenty at stake for both sides, this encounter promises to deliver another intriguing chapter in their Premier League journeys.
