This weekends Premier League's AI Prediction:

!!! Everton vs Bournemouth !!!

Winner: Bournemouth

Reasoning:

1. Current Form: Bournemouth has shown resilience and determination in their recent matches, managing to secure crucial points. Everton, while strong, has had some inconsistencies, particularly in their defensive setup.

3. Key Players: Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo and Lewis Cook have been in excellent form. Semenyo’s goal-scoring ability and Cook’s midfield control will be key to Bournemouth’s success. Everton will rely on Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Michael Keane, but Bournemouth’s defense will be prepared.
