Everton are back in Premier League action on Saturday afternoon.
David Moyes’ side take on Bournemouth on the South Coast and will be looking to make it three wins on the bounce in all competitions.
Everton defeated Crystal Palace 2-0 in their Premier League opener before a thumping 4-0 victory against Preston North End in the Carabao Cup last night.
Aside from Thierno Barry, which Everton player stood out most vs Preston? 🤔
Ahead of the away clash, the referee has just been announced along with his match officials.
Chris Kavanagh will referee Everton vs Bournemouth
The Premier League have placed Chris Kavanagh in charge of Everton’s game against Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon.
Kavanagh will have Dan Cook and Craig Taylor as his assistants, with John Brooks on Video Assistant Referee duty at Stockley Park.
- Referee: Chris Kavanagh
- Assistants: Dan Cook, Craig Taylor
- Fourth official: Ruebyn Ricardo
- VAR: John Brooks
- Assistant VAR: Adrian Holmes
The Toffees don’t have the best record with the Manchester-born official, as they’ve lost more than they’ve won.
| Games | Won | Drawn | Lost | Yellow cards | Red cards | Penalties |
| 20 | 6 | 6 | 8 | 28 | 3 | 1 |
The 40-year-old’s last game with the Toffees came in April when Moyes’ side suffered a 2-1 defeat to Liverpool at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
There was some controversy in that clash, as some felt the hosts should’ve had a penalty when Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall went down in the area under a challenge from Curtis Jones.
Moyes wasn’t too happy with Kavanagh in his post-match press conference.
“Yeah, I do (think it was a penalty). Why would he go down if he’s not (fouled)?
“He’s in on goal to shoot and finish, so why would he not take the opportunity to do that?”
Hopefully there aren’t any contentious decisions at Bournemouth this weekend.
