**Everton**
It seems they will play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, and it is expected that they will prepare their attacking patterns centered around Calvert-Lewin, McNeil, Doucouré, and Harrison to activate their scoring opportunities. The performance of backup players Ndidi and Betu will also be crucial.
**Bournemouth**
They are likely to manage the game in a 4-2-3-1 formation, producing scoring chances through attacking routes utilizing Semenyo, Watara, Sinisterra, and Tavernier. The contributions of backup players Jeverson and Kluivert are also expected to be important key points in this match.
**Commentary**
The home team's attack is initiated from the buildup based on the central playmaker Doucouré’s footwork. It remains to be seen whether Bournemouth's defensive line can handle the penetration play by the side winger McNeil, who receives Doucouré's passes. Everton’s substitutes, particularly Betu, who has shown solid performances every time he has been subbed in during the second half, give them a relatively superior substitution strength. On the other hand, Bournemouth, with the departure of their main striker Solanke to Tottenham just before the league’s kickoff, is practically lacking a striker who can make an impact in the front line as they did last season. This matchup seems likely to lead to a scenario where Bournemouth spends the entire first and second halves merely defending. Let’s keep an eye on the potential for an underscored match while favoring the home team.
