SIMON Francis insists Cherries will be poised to take advantage should the atmosphere at Everton turn toxic tomorrow (3pm).
Supporters are calling for Toffees boss Roberto Martinez to be sacked on the back of a seven-match winless run in the Premier League and Cherries head to Goodison Park level on points with their rivals.
Francis told the Daily Echo: “It could be a psychological advantage for us. We knew it would be huge at Aston Villa, we dominated early on and passed the ball knowing the crowd would get on their backs.
“If you can use anything like that, you have to take the opportunity and it might be the same at Everton. They are going to be under pressure.
“We look at the squad Everton has and they probably shouldn’t be where they are. We will have to be wary of that but at the same time, we go into it looking to use our good away form.”
Francis added: “It is a game we go into confident of getting a result but we also have to be mindful of the past few games in trying to tighten things up at the back and staying switched on.”
