Streaking team Everton FC (10-6-7, 37 points) will look to extend their six-game unbeaten run to seven as they meet lowly squad AFC Bournemouth (7-11-5, 26 points) in a 2016-2017 Premier League season match on Saturday, Feb. 4 at the Goodison Park.
Start Time and Streaming Info
The game starts at 10:00 a.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.
Everton has been undefeated in their last six matches with four wins and two draws to keep their place in the seventh spot of the English top flight table. The team is now five points behind sixth-running team Manchester United and nine points below the final Europa League qualifying berth for next season currently held by Manchester City.
In their most recent Premier League fixture last Wednesday, the Toffees were held to a 1-1 draw by middling side Stoke City on the road at the Bet365 Stadium, as per Goal.
Veteran forward Peter Crouch scored the opening goal in the seventh minute of the contest off a perfectly timed pass by Austrian forward Marko Arnautovic.
However, an own goal by team captain Ryan Shawcross leveled the count in the 39th minute after Seamus Coleman's shot bounced off him and went into the back of Lee Grant's net, preserving the unbeaten run of head coach Ronald Koeman's squad.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth has been struggling as of late with only one win in their last six games for the Cherries. The team is settled in the 14th spot of the league table right now, only seven points above the bottom three relegation area.
Boscombe succumbed to its fourth straight winless performance after getting blanked by bottom three squad Crystal Palace, 0-2, right at their home ground of Vitality Stadium last Tuesday, the Mirror reported.
Head coach Eddie Howe's boys were able to keep it goalless in the first half as the two sides fell their way against each other.
However, Bournemouth was not able to respond with any goals against the Eagles' tough defense while the visitors hit twice in the second half, courtesy of Scott Dann and Christian Benteke in the 46th and 90th+2 minutes respectively.
