4-2-3-1: This Everton XI will dominate Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium

Though it was a relatively frustrating summer transfer window for the Everton fans in the Transfer Tavern, the Toffees are sweet again. 

Ronald Koeman’s impact on Merseyside has been an instant one, leading the club to an unbeaten start in the Premier League.

Missing out on targets may actually serve those at Goodison Park well, with the squad so far losing settled under the Dutchman’s tutelage.

Next up is a trip to the South Coast as Bournemouth await the Everton train on Saturday afternoon.

Right now, the squad pretty much picks itself for the ex-Southampton coach.

He’s instilled a fresh urgency and increased tempo to the ranks, one entirely lacking during Roberto Martinez’s latter reign in charge.

That being said, as he looks to keep up the pace with the early Premier League pace-setters, few changes need to be made.

With all that in mind, here’s the Everton XI to batter the Cherries tomorrow afternoon.

Maarten Stekelenburg

Stekelenburg

Not the most impressive at Southampton, the Dutchman has looked solid so far in the Toffees’ goal.

Seamus Coleman

Seamus Coleman has rediscovered the sort of dynamism that made him such an effective attacking outlet in recent months.

Crucial.

Ashley Williams

Eyebrows were raised when Koeman splashed out big money on the Welshman, though his effect in bolstering the backline has been an immediate one.

Phil Jagielka

A solid base, the England international has played way back into the international fold under Koeman.

Leighton Baines

After a slow season last time out, Leighton Baines is proving as dependable as ever for Koeman in the left-back berth.

Gareth Barry

Crowning his 600th Premier League appearance with a goal, Gareth Barry is looking better than ever in the early stages of the campaign.

Idrissa Gueye

Already looking like one of the buys of the summer, Idrissa Gueye is an N’Golo Kante like presence in the engine room for the Toffees.

Kevin Mirallas

While not the most searing of wingers, Kevin Mirallas provides balance and a lethal finishing instinct to Everton’s frontline.

Ross Barkley

Barkley

Seriously needs to prove he’s worth a starting berth after being hauled off at half-time against Sunderland.

Yannick Bolasie

Again, Yannick Bolasie’s expensive move to Everton over the summer was largely ridiculed by the wider footballing public.

While the tricky winger has some way to go in order to prove he’s worth such a big fee, he’s certainly given the club a new attacking dimension.

Romelu Lukaku

A hat-trick against Sunderland, Romelu Lukaku will fancy his chances against a leaky Bournemouth backline.
