Everton Team News Revealed For Bournemouth Clash

Jarrad Branthwaite is in contention to start and Tyrique George could make a home debut when Everton host Bournemouth at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Tuesday (7.30pm GMT kick-off).

The Blues return to home soil looking to build positive momentum after an excellent 2-1 comeback victory over Fulham on Saturday.

Defender Branthwaite, who returned to action from a long-term hamstring injury in the Toffees' last home game – a 1-1 draw with Leeds United – came off the bench as a late substitute at Craven Cottage, with Moyes revealing beforehand he will manage the defender's minutes after an extended spell on the sidelines.

Jack Grealish remains unavailable after suffering a stress fracture in his foot.

Speaking in Monday's pre-match press conference at Finch Farm, Moyes said: "I think apart from Jack Grealish, I think everybody is fit. We're still nursing one or two – obviously, [with] Jarrad Branthwaite, we're trying to just gauge the minutes he can play at the moment because he's coming back from injury... Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Charly Alcaraz as well.

"We've had a bundle of players who've been out injured, but they're all back training, they're all fit. You've seen that with them playing some games and being on the bench."

Discussing his first impressions of January deadline day recruit George, who could make his home debut against the Cherries, Moyes said: "I am [excited about what he can bring]. I've seen bits of him which I like but, again, he's a young player. It's not as if we're getting a Jack Grealish in, someone who's played three or four hundred games and knows how to play in the big occasions. 

"He's still a young boy, so we've got to be careful that we don't expect too much from him. He's someone who still needs to get used to the players and the Club but what he is showing at the moment, we've been quite impressed by him."

The Opposition

Andoni Iraola will be without Justin Kluivert, Marcus Tavernier, Ben Gannon-Doak and Julio Soler for Bournemouth's first-ever trip to Hill Dickinson Stadium.

The Cherries' boss revealed Tyler Adams returned to training on Monday following a knee injury, but admitted Tuesday's game "may be too early" for the American.

Meanwhile, David Brooks made his comeback from an ankle injury as a late substitute in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa, with Iraola explaining he is "still not 100 per cent but it's good he can give us some help".
