Everton host Bournemouth at Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool on 10 February 2026, with kickoff at 19:30 UTC in Premier League Regular Season round 26. Everton sit 8th on 37 points, while Bournemouth are 11th with 34 points, keeping both firmly in the hunt for European contention.
Everton Availability
Everton are without key creator J. Grealish, ruled out of this fixture with a foot injury. His absence is significant given his league-leading influence for the club this season, contributing 2 goals and 6 assists from midfield in 20 appearances. Without his 40 key passes and ball-carrying threat, others will need to step up in advanced areas, with responsibility likely to fall on attacking options such as Beto and wide players like D. McNeil to compensate creatively and in front of goal.
Bournemouth Availability
Bournemouth face a heavier injury list. B. Doak (hamstring), J. Kluivert (knee), J. Soler (injury) and M. Tavernier (thigh) are all listed as missing, while midfielder T. Adams is questionable with a knee problem. Even so, their main attacking weapons remain available, notably top scorer A. Semenyo, who has produced 10 goals and 3 assists in 20 league games, and E. Kroupi, who has added 8 goals. Retaining that duo preserves much of Bournemouth’s cutting edge.
Both sides lose important pieces, but Bournemouth’s absentees are more numerous, affecting depth and rotation. However, with Semenyo and Kroupi fit, Bournemouth keep a larger share of their proven goal output, while Everton must cope without their primary assist provider Grealish.
