Follow all the action from Vitality Stadium
The 2023/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.
This year sees Manchester City try to defend their crown and claim a historic fourth title in succession. Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering City, who also won the Champions League and FA Cup last season, will have to see off Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and the rest to claim an unprecedented sixth league title in seven years.
Meanwhile Luton Town are making their first appearance in the Premier League, having risen from non-league in an incredible decade of progress. They followed Championship winners Burnley and second-placed Sheffield United in earning promotion to the top flight.
Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.
AFC Bournemouth vs Everton
Bournemouth make four alterations to the side that beat Luton 4-3 in a Premier League classic in their last outing. Adams returns from injury to make his first top-flight start for the Cherries, seven months after signing from Leeds United. He comes into the midfield and replaces Ryan Christie. However, it has not been all positive news for Iraola, who is without Luis Sinisterra after the Colombian sustained a hamstring strain during the international break. Tavernier appears on the wing, with Kluivert picked ahead of Scott. Finally, Kerkez is preferred to Ouattara at left-back.

AFC Bournemouth vs Everton
Everton are embroiled in a relegation battle and are winless in their last 11 Premier League matches. The Toffees went into the international break after a 2-0 loss to Manchester United at Old Trafford, gifting the hosts two first-half penalties whilst failing to score themselves despite creating an xG (expected goals) of 1.61 from their 23 shots. It has certainly been a season to forget for Sean Dyche's men, who have already been deducted six points for breaking profit and sustainability rules (PSR), with the total initially standing at 10 before a successful appeal. However, Everton will soon discover if they will have another points deduction for a second PSR breach, as the hearing took place earlier this week. The visitors are currently in 16th position in the table, four points above Nottingham Forest, who are just inside the relegation zone after being given a four-point deduction for a PSR breach earlier this month.

Bournemouth were going through a tough run of form at the end of February and had won just one of their last seven Premier League outings after their 1-0 loss to Manchester City. However, they have collected seven points from their previous three top-flight outings to move up to 13th position. Andoni Iraola would’ve targeted the three fixtures against Burnley, Sheffield United and Luton Town as a chance to string some positive results together, and the Spaniard would’ve been delighted with their victory over the Clarets before a hard-fought draw against the Blades. Bournemouth then produced the comeback of the season against the Hatters, coming from 3-0 down to win 4-3 in their last outing, becoming the third team in Premier League history to win a match after trailing by three goals at half-time.
