Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth team travel to Goodison Park looking to secure their first win of the new season, whilst Sean Dyche's Everton are hoping to get off the mark completely following two successive defeats in the Premier League.
The Toffees were comfortably beaten 4-0 by Tottenham last week and saw their first game end in a 3-0 home loss at the hands of Brighton.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth drew 1-1 against Nottingham Forest on the opening day thanks to a late equaliser from Antoine Semenyo.
They then were unlucky not to grab all three points when Dango Ouattara was alleged to have handballed in a winner against Newcastle, and their meeting ended in another 1-1 tie for the Cherries.
There was more pain for Iraola and his team when they were dumped out of the Carabao Cup by West Ham thanks to Jarrod Bowen's late winner, where the ball seemed to strike the forward's arm on the way in.
Sean Dyche can see his midweek 3-0 win over Doncaster in the same competition as a confidence booster, while he will also hope to draw upon success in the same fixture last season, when Everton beat the Cherries 3-0 at home at the beginning of the season.
Notably, Dyche has lost all of his five league matches in charge of Everton in August, having seen his side not even score in any of the games. Having mentioned that, Iraola has also failed to win a league game with the Cherries in August too.

Team News
Everton
Everton are still in a defensive crisis, with highly-rated centre-back Jarrod Branthwaite still out with a groin injury and ruled out until after the international break.
The Toffees also have Nathan Patterson (thigh) ruled out, but are bolstered by Ashley Young returning following suspension. The defender is back after his one-match ban after getting sent off against Brighton on the opening day.
Forward Youssef Chermiti will also need a few more weeks sidelined as he is recovering from an ankle concern.
Everton will rest their hopes on well-rested players such as Abdoulaye Doucouré and Dominic Calvert-Lewin who did not feature in midweek and are fully fit for this weekend's fixture.
Bournemouth
Bournemouth could hand a debut to new loan signing Kepa Arizzabalaga.
The Spaniard has arrived on the south coast on a season-long loan from Chelsea and is expected to be the Cherries' number one for this season.
Club captain Neto has departed and will join Arsenal on loan for the remainder of the season.
Iraola still has Enes Ünal (foot), Tyler Adams (back) and David Brooks (shoulder) out for the trip north.
With Daniel Jebbison being loaned out to Watford for the season, Bournemouth have only one fit striker in record-signing Evanilson, who is looking for his first goal in red and black.

Key Players
Everton - Dominic Calvert-Lewin
The Toffees yet again will look to their talisman Calvert-Lewin this season to keep them in the top flight.
The Englishman notched seven Premier League goals last campaign. He is always a dangerous presence in the opponents' penalty area and poses a threat from set plays.
The way Dyche sets his team up with his wingers and full-backs predominantly combining to cross balls into the box matches with Calvert-Lewin's desire and tenacity to get into the box and latch onto any incoming deliveries, so he should be dangerous in this contest.
Bournemouth - Antoine Semenyo
Semenyo has become a real force under Iraola since he was given his chance last season.
The winger loves to carry the ball with purpose and infiltrate attacking areas whilst having a strong end-product, whether that is finding the back of the net or providing assists.
The Ghanaian scored eight goals and assisted two last season and has already got one goal and one assist in two Premier Leagues for this campaign.
The winger prefers to bully his counterpart, loves to take on his defender and is comfortable with either foot, making him such a strong, exciting force.
