Everton have lost both of their Premier League games without scoring a single goal and Bournemouth have drawn both of their games but will one of these teams claim all three points on Saturday?
The Toffees looked better in midweek as they beat Doncaster Rovers 3-0 while the Cherries were dumped out of that competition by West Ham.

Everton vs Bournemouth prediction: A low-scoring affair?
Key Stats
- Everton have only scored more than one goal in two of their last six matches.
- Bournemouth failed to score against West Ham in midweek.
- Everton have kept clean sheets in each of their last two home games against Bournemouth.
- Both teams have scored in just one of the Toffee's last six fixtures.
Correct score prediction: Everton 1-0 Bournemouth

Everton preview: Looked much better in midweek
Everton have suffered two big defeats in the Premier League this season but their fans will have more belief in their team following Tuesday's League Cup victory over Doncaster Rovers.
The League Two side played well in the first half but Everton upped their game in the second, scoring three times without reply in what was a much more positive performance from Sean Dyche's side.
Youssef Chermiti, Nathan Patterson and Jarrad Branthwaite are all injured but Seamus Coleman and James Garner played over an hour in midweek and will be available this weekend.
Predicted lineup: Pickford (GK), Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko, Dixon, Gueye, Doucoure, Iroegbunam, Beto, Ndiaye & McNeil

Bournemouth preview: Without a win this season
Bournemouth's search for a win goes on after they followed up back-to-back Premier League draws with a 1-0 defeat at West Ham in the League Cup.
The Cherries have lost their last two trips to Goodison Park but if they can score the first goal this weekend, the stats suggest that they will come away with at least a point.
The visitors will be without three first-team players this weekend as Enes Una, Tyler Adams and David Brooks are all injured.
Predicted lineup: Kepa (GK), Senesi, Araujo, Zabarnyi, Kerkez, Christie, Cook, Tavernier, Kluivert, Semenyo & Evanilson

Player to watch – Beto
Everton's 26-year-old striker Beto has hardly set the world alight since joining the Toffees from Udinese last summer.
The unorthodox forward certainly has ability but his first touch and decision-making often lets him down in the final third.
Beto opened his account for the season against Doncaster in the League Cup
Beto is no slouch, he works tirelessly all game and causes issues for defenders and while Sean Dyche has never liked to use the Portuguese forward, he may have to should Dominic Calvert-Lewin leave the club before Friday's transfer deadline.
