Comments, predictions Everton vs Bournemouth: The fateful last minute

Everton and Bournemouth meet in the FA Cup fourth round at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon.

This will be Cherries' final visit to the historic stadium, where they staged an incredible comeback to win 3-2 last August, scoring all three goals after the 87th minute.

Latest Everton vs Bournemouth team information

Home fans will hope to see Moyes field his strongest XI for this game, but with the Merseyside derby looming on Wednesday, there could be some rotation.

Beto has to start up front because Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Armando Broja and Youssef Chermiti are all out injured, while talisman Iliman Ndiaye is irreplaceable at the moment.

Dwight McNeil is also injured, but James Garner and Tim Iroegbunam have returned from injury in the past week or so, while Carlos Alcaraz could make his debut after arriving on loan from Flamengo.

Iraola rotated Bournemouth's squad in round three, and could do so again, despite the stronger opposition and their injury problems.

After letting Max Aarons leave on loan, Bournemouth are also without the services of right-backs Julian Araujo, James Hill and Adam Smith, while Marcos Senesi is also sidelined with a thigh problem.

Dango Ouattara has filled in as a makeshift striker in the absence of Evanilson and Enes Unal, while Luis Sinisterra and Alex Scott, who were both likely to feature in this match, are also injured.

Latest predicted lineup 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 review

After going into their third-round home tie with Peterborough United without a manager and deep in relegation trouble, it took Everton less than a month to find a replacement and lift themselves out of the bottom three.

David Moyes returned to the club for a second spell, and despite losing his first game in charge, he has since won three in a row, the first club outside the Premier League's top eight to do so this season, leaving the Toffees nine points clear of the drop zone.

Sean Dyche has won just three of his 19 league games in charge this season, while Moyes has achieved that tally in just four since arriving days after the third-round win over Posh, where Leighton Baines and Seamus Coleman took charge.

With relegation looming ever closer, Everton supporters will now want a cup run to keep their season alive in the final months, as they have not even reached a major final since 2009, under Moyes.

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

Another home game would at least be beneficial, as they have won eight of their last 10 FA Cup games at Goodison, but Everton lost at home in the fourth round last season, to Luton Town.

Luton troubled Everton last season, and Bournemouth have done so regularly, winning seven of the last nine meetings, including both league meetings this season.

However, Bournemouth have not beaten a club three times in a season since doing so against Carlisle United in 2012-13, and Everton have won both FA Cup meetings between the two sides, in 1937 and 2016.

History is on the side of the visitors, however, who have the chance to reach the fifth round in consecutive seasons for the first time, but with a fight for the Champions League places on the line, this may not be Andoni Iraola's top priority.

Cherries have only progressed past the fourth round four times in their history, losing 11 times at this stage.

Iraola's side went further than last season, but were knocked out early by Leicester City in the fifth round, falling just one game short of matching their best-ever FA Cup performance, reaching the quarter-finals in 2021.

Having never qualified for Europe before, Bournemouth may not have a better chance this season, sitting just one point off fifth place, which is expected to be enough to secure a place in next season's Champions League.

That also means the top eight will all secure European places, and Bournemouth are currently four points clear of ninth-placed Fulham, which leaves Iraola with a slightly difficult choice.
