AFC Bournemouth vs Everton LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Vitality Stadium
Follow live coverage as AFC Bournemouth face Everton in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.

With 15 minutes to go, let’s take a look at how the two sides are lining up - starting with our hosts!
AFC Bournemouth vs Everton
Just one point ahead of their opponents today, Everton have won just one of their last six league fixtures. A tale of two sides of the pitch for the Toffees, their defence is only bettered by teams in the top three, while only sides in the relegation zone have scored fewer. Goalless in their last three away trips in the Premier League, Frank Lampard will be looking to put that right in their final match before the pause.

17th place Bournemouth are looking to add to the single point that separates them from Southampton in the relegation zone ahead of the World Cup break. Despite a run of four-consecutive defeats in the Premier League, interim coach Gary O'Neil will have reason for optimism, with his Cherries having just beaten Everton 4-1 in the EFL Cup.
