Live Renault Super Sunday

Team news

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe will make a late call on Lewis Cook as the midfielder closes in on a recovery from a serious knee injury. Summer signing Lloyd Kelly is set to return to full training after an ankle problem, though this weekend could come too soon. Defender Charlie Daniels is recovering from surgery on a dislocated kneecap while Arnaut Danjuma (foot), Dan Gosling (hip), Simon Francis (knee), David Brooks (ankle) and Junior Stanislas (knee) all continue their own rehabilitation.

Everton are without Jean-Philippe Gbamin and Jonas Lossl for their trip to the Vitality Stadium. Gbamin has been out with a thigh strain since the second game of the season, while goalkeeper Lossl is expected to return to contention next week. Out-of-favour striker Cenk Tosun could be pushing for a recall after scoring two goals in Turkey's 4-0 win in Moldova on Tuesday.

Everton manager Marco Silva has praised the job Eddie Howe is doing at Bournemouth and believes they are in a 'better condition' than last season

Charlie Nicholas' prediction

We are looking at goals for both teams. In reality, Bournemouth are strong at home and I am still not convinced with Everton. Marco Silva is always two bad results away from a crisis. Normally, Everton start cold but they have started alright, although they have to win these football matches if we are to see an improvement. Callum Wilson, Josh King and Ryan Fraser will all be fresh after the international break, so I will be going for a Bournemouth win here.
