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.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
AFC Bournemouth vs Everton
Tavernier runs into Tarkowski inside the Everton penalty area and goes down immediately. Everton look to spark a counter-attack the other way, only for the referee to blow his whistle and bring play back for a potential head injury. The visitors are furious as it was just 20 minutes ago when the game was not stopped for Tarkowski’s problem which led to a goal for the Cherries, though the match official is unmoved, allowing the visitors to restart play from a free-kick after Tavernier has been taken care of.

Maupay goes down inside the penalty area under pressure from Senesi but the referee - in a perfect position to spot the incident - sees nothing wrong as he allows play to continue.
