Bournemouth are entering February still looking for their first win of 2017 and they now face the tough task of travelling to Goodison Park to take on a resilient Everton side. While relegation is still a distant fear, another loss on Feb. 4 to the Toffees and the alarm bells will start ringing.
Eddie Howe said after the previous defeat to Crystal Palace that his side lack confidence which is an incredibly worrying sign at this stage of the season. The Cherries are seven points above the relegation zone which is a comfortable cushion but they have some difficult fixtures coming up including a visit to Old Trafford.
