Bournemouth have obtained a single point from their last four games and have just two wins from nine Premier League matches in what is a devastating record for a side who started the season off with a bang.
Are Bournemouth hard done by?
Iraola’s side 3-2 defeat to Sunderland on Saturday but his left unscathed as he gave a team update as his side prepare to welcome the Toffees to the Vitality Stadium.
"I think everyone will be available. Apart from the suspensions, the two Scottish players, Ryan (Christie) and Ben (Gannon-Doak) out. I think everyone else should be available, yes."
Speaking of unscathed, Iraola also touched upon the amount of fouls his side can commit before being punished when compared to other sides, which says is an issue which should be addressed.
"It's true that we've had a lot of yellow cards, but there is a part where the way we play we want to be aggressive, and we want to go for the challenges, and also there is a part where the stats are very clear.
“The amount of fouls they allow us for a yellow card is the lowest in the Premier League. I think we need four fouls for every yellow card and there are teams with 10, 11, 12 fouls that they allow them for every yellow card.”
Suspensions can be expected
The Cherries will be without the suspended David Brooks, Marcos Senesi and Lewis Cook against Everton. Despite the loss of such talent, Iraola has defended his players and said suspensions are bound to happen.
“These things (suspensions and injuries) are going to happen, and even more in this period of the season.
“In December, January we will need everyone and every player on the team needs to be available and ready to go.
“Now we have some suspensions and some injuries. Probably we will need players who haven’t played as many minutes and I hope they are ready.”
Everton could go unbeaten in three straight top-flight away contests for the first time since March if they grab a result against Bournemouth. Iraola had a lot of praise for manager David Moyes’ side ahead of the clash.
“I think for me it’s a pleasure to play against managers like David Moyes,” he said. “They have been so good, so consistently, in a competition like the Premier League.
“I remember my first game here was against him when he was at West Ham. I am sure it’s going to be a big challenge and I hope we are at the level.”
