While confidence is growing in the Everton camp, there is the need for a response from Bournemouth, who lost 2-1 at Manchester City last Sunday and are keen to put some points on the board in their first home game of the season.
Despite the change in the Bournemouth dugout, there is a clear plan to keep building on the steady progress of recent seasons.
The Cherries have focused on quality rather than quantity with their transfer dealings and seem to have recruited sensibly in the centre-back position, with 22-year-old Antonio Silva making a solid first impression against an Erling Haaland-led City attack.
They led for long periods against the Citizens and there was enough in that performance to suggest that Bournemouth fans can look forward to another positive campaign.
However, the Cherries will be well aware of the need to keep pushing forward and are sure to be respectful of Everton, who defeated them 1-0 in last season's corresponding fixture.
The Toffees are keen to progress after last season's 13th place in the Premier League and took the first step against Crystal Palace last weekend with goals from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Thierno Barry clinching maximum points.

Bournemouth v Everton Prediction
Best Bet: Everton Draw no bet @ 6/4
Everton started the season impressively on home turf, but they did better on their travels during the 2025-26 campaign and could succeed on the south coast this weekend.
David Moyes usually has his teams extremely well-organised and his tactical nous contributed to seven Toffees away victories over the course of last term.
However, the Merseysiders were slightly disappointed to end up in the bottom half and will be hoping to find the necessary improvement to sustain a serious push for European qualification.
Bournemouth, who finished in sixth place, are among the teams Everton will be keen to overtake.
They are a well-run club, renowned for making smart decisions in the transfer market and for playing high tempo, attacking football.
Everything points to another decent season for the Cherries, but they could be drawn into a tight physical contest by the Toffees, who look attractively priced on the draw no bet.
Alternative Bet: Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to assist a goal @ 11/2
Classy midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall delivered Everton's deadlock breaking moment against Palace and he could have a strong say in the outcome at Bournemouth.
The 27-year-old contributed four assists in the Premier League last season and his creative quality could come to the fore against the Cherries, who have registered only three home wins in 2026.
Bournemouth v Everton Bet Builder Tip
Iliman Ndiaye to score any time
Under 4 goals
Adrien Truffert to be booked
Pays 35/1
Iliman Ndiaye was one of Everton's most consistent players last season and he can open his account for 2026-27 with a goal at Bournemouth, even if he is being linked with a possible move.
The Senegalese made just one start for his country at the 2026 World Cup, but he is central to Moyes' plans at Everton and produced a livewire performance and an assist against Crystal last weekend.
Ndiaye's pace will present a tricky challenge to Adrien Truffert down the left hand side of Bournemouth's back-line.
Truffert was carded just five times in 38 league appearances last term, but he may have to resort to some physical methods against Ndiaye and could soon get on the wrong side of match referee Chris Kavanagh.
