Bournemouth have won more Premier League games against Everton than they have versus any other opponent (9), while only against Fulham (60% - 6/10) do they have a higher win rate among sides they’ve faced 10+ times in the division (50% - 9/18).

Everton have won just one of their nine Premier League away games against Bournemouth (D2 L6), though it was in this exact fixture last season (1-0 in December).

Bournemouth haven’t lost their opening home game in any of the last eight league campaigns (W4 D4) since a 0-2 loss to Watford in the Premier League back in August 2017.

Everton have lost their first away game in each of the last four Premier League seasons, failing to score in the last three of those. Only from 1955-56 to 1961-62 have the Toffees ever lost their first away game in more consecutive league campaigns (7).

Bournemouth’s 18-game unbeaten run in the Premier League came to an end on MD1 against Manchester City. The Cherries haven’t lost consecutive league games since November/December 2025, with the second defeat in that sequence coming at home to Everton.

Following their 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on MD1, Everton will be looking to start a Premier League campaign with back-to-back victories for the first time since 2020-21, when the Toffees won their first four under Carlo Ancelotti.

Despite going unbeaten in their last nine home Premier League games (W3 D6), Bournemouth have won just three of their last 14 league matches at the Vitality Stadium (D9 L2). Marco Rose is looking to become just the second manager to win his first Premier League home game in charge of the Cherries, after Scott Parker in August 2022 (2-0 v Aston Villa).

Everton applied 102 high intensity pressures in the final third against Crystal Palace on MD1, with only Leeds United (128 v Nottingham Forest) and Manchester City (108 v Bournemouth) making more across this season’s opening weekend of Premier League action. Meanwhile, no side had more shots following a high turnover on MD1 than the Toffees (5 – level with Brighton).

Since the start of last season, no Everton player has scored more Premier League goals than Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (9), with the midfielder netting 4.7 goals more than expected during this period (4.3 xG) – only Antoine Semenyo (+5.7) has exceeded his xG total by a higher figure than the Englishman since the start of 2025-26 in the competition.

Bournemouth’s Djordje Petrovic and Everton’s Jordan Pickford are two of just four goalkeepers that have featured in every Premier League game since the start of last season, alongside Brighton’s Bart Verbruggen and Fulham’s Bernd Leno. The last English goalkeeper to enjoy a longer run of unbroken Premier League appearances than Pickford’s current streak of 146 was David James between January 2004 and April 2008 (166).
