How the Premier League table stands
Everton can go above Liverpool into sixth tonight if they beat Bournemouth.
The Cherries themselves could displace their opponents in eighth with three points.
Good evening!
As they say, no rest of the wicked and the Premier League is back for a midweek round, with Everton hosting Bournemouth.
The Toffees could go above city rivals Liverpool with three points, and are unbeaten in their last four games.
Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth are also unbeaten in their last four. Both sides have lost just one Premier League game in 2026.
So two in-form teams going toe-to-toe at the Hill Dickinson Stadium - quite the prospect. Let's get going!
Adams edging closer to return
Bournemouth midfielder Tyler Adams is edging closer to fitness after a knee injury.
He has been out since suffering the injury at Manchester United in December and while Andoni Iraola says Tuesday’s trip to Everton might be too early for Adams, he is not far away from returning to action.
“Tyler will train today,” said Iraola at a press conference. “Maybe it’s early for tomorrow, but he’s getting closer.
“My worry is more about the players that finished the other day against Aston Villa.
“Let’s see if we can train with everyone and have everyone ready to go again.
“We don’t have any injury concerns, but it’s true that a lot of players finished with cramps or small issues. I hope they are small and that they are ready again for tomorrow.”
Moyes: I'd rather talk about Europe than relegation, but a long way to go
Everton manager David Moyes admitted his side will have to pull off some surprise results in their final 13 matches if they are to sneak into Europe.
A win at home to Bournemouth would take his side into sixth on 40 points and bring the prospect of a return to continental competition for the first time since 2017/18 closer to reality.
After recent seasons battling to avoid the drop, it is a scenario Moyes welcomes – but he knows with matches still to come against Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City, the odds are still against them.
“We don’t really say too much but I’d rather the talk be about European places than talking about relegation places,” he said.
“For us to do it we are probably going to have to win a couple of games which maybe we would be unexpected to win in the run-in.
“We are going to have to be good, try to win the games we can do. We have to try to turn our away form into good home form and get more wins if we can.
“At the moment we have a long way to go for that to happen but if we can hang in with the teams above us you just never know.”
'I will come back better than before' - Grealish confirms foot surgery
Jack Grealish confirmed he has had surgery on a foot stress fracture, which has ruled him out for the season.
The 30-year-old, who is on a season-long loan at Everton from Manchester City, suffered the injury last month during a 1-0 win over his former club Aston Villa.
Confirmation of the operation rules out an outside chance of Grealish making Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for this summer’s World Cup.
The 30-year-old posted a picture on Instagram in his hospital bed, giving the thumbs-up.
He wrote: “Didn’t want the season to end like this but that’s football, gutted.
“Surgery done and now all focus on getting back fit. I know for sure I will come back fitter, stronger and better than before.
“The support I’ve had since coming to this unbelievable club has meant the world to me.
“The staff, my teammates and especially the fans have been incredible, and I absolutely love representing this club.
“I’ll be backing the lads all the way and doing everything I can to get back as soon as possible. Thank you again for all the love, it means so much.”
He had featured 22 times for Everton this season, with two goals and six assists.
