17th placed Everton need a win to guarantee survival. They host Bournemouth who are 15th and have already secured another season in the Premier League. Everton begin this final match two points clear of Leicester and Leeds. Three points will see the Blues in the Premier League again next season. A draw won't be enough to achieve that if Leicester beat West Ham. If they lose, then both their relegation rivals can go ahead of them if they win their games. Last season Everton survived relegation with a game to spare. They celebrated but vowed to avoid a similar situation again. That hasn't worked and it's been another inconsistent season for them. Their last match saw them grab a late goal to draw at Wolves. Just seven league games have been won this season but five have come at Goodison Park.Their last three home Premier League games have been lost but this year has seen them get wins over Arsenal, Leeds and Brentford. The home crowd will be cheering on the Toffees and they are good value to get a win.

Bournemouth will be in the Premier League next season. That didn't look likely at times as they spent time in the bottom three. Away form has been a problem with 11 losses and 42 goals conceded. However, three of their last four away league matches have been won, including victories at Tottenham and two of the bottom three. Their last away fixture was a 2-0 loss at Crystal Palace. Last weekend saw them lose 1-0 at home to Manchester United making it three successive league losses. With their Premier League status confirmed, that may well play into the hands of their opponents. Everton have everything to play for and can get the win.
