Everton are back in Premier League action on Tuesday evening, as they take on Bournemouth.
David Moyes’ side return to the Hill Dickinson Stadium to take on a Bournemouth side who reside three points behind them in the Premier League table.
Everton are fresh off the back of a 2-1 win against Fulham, so they’ll be keen to make it back-to-back wins.

Ahead of the clash, the Premier League have just made an announcement that might not go down well with Moyes.
Premier League appoint Andy Madley to referee Everton vs Bournemouth

Moyes may be a bit concerned with the appointment of Madley, as he was at the centre of a controversial decision in Everton’s 2-2 draw with Manchester United last season.

Anyone remember when he failed to award Everton a penalty vs United last season? 🫣
Andy Madley.
Back in February 2025, the Toffees were left fuming after they were denied a late penalty when it appeared as though Ashley Young was fouled in the box by both Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt.
The referee initially gave the spot-kick, but decided to overturn his decision when he was sent to the monitor.
Andy Madley’s record with Everton
The Toffees have a very mixed record with Madley in charge of their games, as they’ve won as many as they’ve lost.

Everton’s record with Andy Madley
Interestingly, he’s never actually awarded a red card or a penalty across his 21 matches, so he’s usually quite willing to let the game go.
Madley has shown 31 yellow cards, which averages out to 1.4 bookings per game, further evincing the previous notion.
So, perhaps that’ll suit Everton, who often like to be aggressive in the duels, especially at home.
