Kick-off! Everton 0-0 Bournemouth

If you want an overview of all the matches across the Premier League today have a read of our clockwatch here:

I had a whole punnet of tomatoes ready to snack on throughout the game but I have nervously eaten them all in the build-up. I’m a neutral so I cannot imagine how Everton fans are feeling!

As the players ran in ahead of kick-off a guttural roar came from Everton’s supporters. They are fully behind their squad today, can Everton give them the survival they desperately crave?

Karen Carney has written about the relegation battle and said: “On Sunday all three clubs are playing home games that are very winnable. Everton face Bournemouth, who have nothing to play for; Leicester play West Ham, whose minds may be on the Europa Conference League final; and an indifferent Spurs travel to Elland Road. There is no better place to play a match of this importance than in front of a raucous home crowd, desperately willing you on.” Read the full piece:

We have put together a piece on how the clubs fighting to stay in the top flight have found themselves in the position. It’s a good overview of the season, have a read of it here:

Many would regard Sergio Aguero’s late goal for Manchester City the best moment of a final Premier League day, but what is yours? Let me know via Twitter or email.

“Everton will be direct and the atmosphere will be tough,” Bournemouth manager Gary O’Neil said. “But what a great opportunity for the players to go and show what a good side we are, to see how well we can stand up to the questions that are undoubtedly going to be asked of us. So (it is) a real good marker for me, with last game of the season, going into a summer break and then pre-season to just see where we are against what will be a real good test.”

Everton manager Sean Dyche has said: “It’s easy to forget. I came here and they were three points inside the relegation zone [it was two points]. Now we are two points out of it. Five points [four points] doesn’t sound a lot but when you factor in all the injuries that we have had and what has gone on, you would have taken it. Many people were saying then that we were done. We have shifted considerably but the biggest measure is the end of the season.” Read the full piece:

Everton’s Dwight McNeil said ahead of the weekend: “I love watching football, I’ll usually watch any game, but those two games I just couldn’t watch,” McNeil says of Leeds’ defeat at West Ham and Leicester’s draw, two results that kept Everton out of the bottom three and in control of their destiny. I didn’t watch any of the Leeds game, I went out with my missus for the afternoon, and on Monday I decided to watch The Last Dance with Michael Jordan on Netflix and check the result afterwards. That was a relief. It’s in our hands now and we’re at home on Sunday with our fans behind us. We’ve got to take it like it’s a normal game but we know what’s at stake and the job that needs to be done.” Read the full piece:
