A journey to the Etihad is rarely among optimism.
And this check out is no various. Any reasonable fan will bite your hand off for a point, particularly with Everton ditching at the incorrect end of the Premier League table as soon as again while the holders Manchester City are primed to go on a tear.
So, how will Mr Dyche established his blue kids?
Who’s Out?
Amadou Onana is “back on the grass” and working towards complete physical fitness. He must a minimum of remain in the team. But with midfield numbers thin, he’ll (ideally) be back in the beginning XI.
Andre Gomes (calf), Dele, Arnaut Danjuma (knee) and Abdoulaye Doucoure (hamstring) all stay out, although Abdoulaye Doucoure is now likewise back training, so must be back in the coming weeks.
EVERTON TEAM AVAILABLE VS CITY
Goalkeepers: Pickford, Virginia, Lonergan
Defenders: Keane, Godfrey, Branthwaite, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Coleman, Patterson, Young
Midfielders: Doucoure (HURT), Onana, Gueye (International Duty), Garner, Onyango, Gomes (HURT), Dele (HURT)
Wingers: McNeil, Danjuma (HURT), Dobbin, Harrison
Attackers: Calvert-Lewin, Beto, Chermiti
Tactics and Formation
Bit tough to state precisely how the Blues will line up here. Could be a more protective 4-5-1 or possible a back 5, with Godfrey moving within and Young or Coleman serving as wing-back.
I’d lean towards it being a 4-5-1, with Coleman returning into the side in location of Godfrey, although that might likewise be Young relocating to right-back.
That will mostly be contingent on Onana’s physical fitness.
If the Belgian is healthy, I’d anticipate him and Garner to being in front of Gueye, with McNeil left wing and Harrison on the right.
If the Belgian isn’t fit to begin, anticipate to see Young on the right of midfield in front of Coleman or Godfrey.
DCL up leading sweating off scraps, probably.
