Bournemouth will welcome Everton to Vitality Stadium for an all-Premier League EFL Cup third round tie on Tuesday night.
Both sides have made inconsistent runs in the Premier League this season and currently they are separated by just one point with Everton sitting 16th on 14 points, while Bournemouth are 17th on 13 points.
Both sides have been struggling for form recently as the Cherries have now lost four games in a row which included a spectacular collapse against Leeds United at the weekend where they lost despite being 3-1 up with 30 minutes left, while the Toffees have won just one of their last six games and are coming off a 2-0 home defeat to Leicester City.
Breaking from the Premier League action this midweek, both sides will look to pick up a confidence-boosting win in the EFL Cup clash.
Bournemouth vs Everton head to head
Both sides have met in 11 encounters since 2015 with Everton claiming five victories, while Bournemouth have claimed four victories and there have been two draws.
