Everton face Bournemouth for the third time this season on Saturday; this time in the FA Cup fourth round.

Under Sean Dyche, Everton were not able to take a single point from their two games against the Cherries in the Premier League.

However, things have changed on Merseyside with David Moyes bringing a fresh lease of life to this Everton side.

Results have dramatically improved, but Everton are nursing a host of injuries coming out of the January transfer window.

The game on the weekend is going to offer an interest conundrum for the 61-year-old with his team selection.

Everton only signed one player over the winter window, so Moyes is going to have to manager his squad extremely well.

Chris Sutton predicts Everton vs Bournemouth

In their last outing, Bournemouth fans mocked how poor Everton were as they secured another three points against the Toffees.

But this time out, Everton are going into the game on the back of three consecutive wins in the Premier League.

However, Chris Sutton is far from convinced about an Everton win, as he expects Moyes to make some changes to his starting XI.

“I can see Everton making a few changes here, because they play Liverpool in the rearranged Merseyside derby on Wednesday,” he told BBC Sport as he predicted a 2-0 away win.

“After three straight wins, Everton manager David Moyes will still want a good performance to keep the momentum going, but I am going to stick with my policy of backing Bournemouth.”

Asmir Begovic has impressed in Everton training, his inclusion would mark his first minutes in the starting XI this season.

Focus is on Premier League survival at Everton but it will be interesting to see whether Moyes wants to try and keep up the momentum ahead of the Merseyside Derby on Wednesday.

The rearranged Merseyside Derby will take place on Wednesday night when Liverpool make their final trip to Goodison Park.

Moyes did demand two new signings, which he did not get over the January transfer window.

And that will have left his options limited ahead of Saturday’s game against Bournemouth given the injury woes.

However, the 61-year-old will be aware of what the game on Wednesday against their local rivals means to the fans – especially being the last at Goodison.
