Bournemouth had a remarkable season, qualifying for Europe for the first time in their history as they finished sixth.
Unfortunately, their overperformance came at a price, with Andoni Iraola leaving for Liverpool.
Rose is now the man in charge, and he will not be too disheartened with losing to Man City in his opening match.
The Cherries have no fresh injury concerns, while Ryan Christie returns from suspension.
As for Everton, Tim Iroegbunam and Christian Norgaard were not in the squad for their 4-0 win at Preston North End in the Carabao Cup, so could miss out again.
The Toffees still boast a team capable of beating Bournemouth though, with David Moyes so experienced in the league.
After fighting relegation for a couple of seasons, Everton pushed for Europe alongside Bournemouth last term, but missed out.
With their first win already on the board, the Merseysiders could push for European football again.
