# Predicted Everton XI: Bournemouth v Everton

Anticipation is rising for Everton’s game at Bournemouth this Saturday following the club’s rout of Aston Villa last weekend. Like Villa, Bournemouth lie in the relegation zone, with the Cherries struggling following several key players falling victim to long-term injuries.

Blues boss Roberto Martinez will be able to welcome back midfield duo Muhamed Besic and Tom Cleverley, both of whom are expected to be in the match day squad.

Leighton Baines is once again in contention after being deemed physically fit, however Martinez has reiterated that he won’t rush the England international back into action.

Tony Hibbert, Bryan Oviedo and Steven Pienaar are amongst those set to miss out.

With very few injury concerns and so many players in the squad enjoying successful periods of form, the Spaniard won’t be short of options. Here’s what we think the line-up will be.
