Everton's predicted XI vs Crystal Palace as David Moyes makes two bold changes

Everton return to Premier League action this weekend as they take on high-flying Crystal Palace.

It’s back-to-back games at the Hill Dickinson Stadium for Everton, who will be looking to get back on track with a win.

David Moyes’ side have hit a bit of a wall, having lost two and drawn one of their last three games across all competitions.

Evidently, something needs to change to get them over the line and with that said, here is Moyes’ predicted starting line-up for Sunday as he makes two bold changes.

Everton’s predicted XI vs Crystal Palace

David Moyes will be forced to make at least one change against Crystal Palace as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is suspended.

Dewsbury-Hall picked up a controversial booking on Monday and now has to serve a one-game ban after five yellow cards.

That could see Iliman Ndiaye moved into the number 10 position, with Tyler Dibling making his first Premier League start for the club off the right.

The other change will surely come up top as Beto has been in really poor form this season, so Thierno Barry could get the nod to make only his second league start since joining in a £30m switch from Villarreal.

Barry has struggled to get into a rhythm as he’s had to try and impact games from the bench, so hopefully this is the first start of many.

Tyler Dibling could get his chance to shine

Considering Dibling joined in a whopping £40m deal from Southampton in the summer, many expected him to be a regular starter.

But, Moyes has been patient with the teenager and is yet to actually start him in a Premier League game this term.

However, the Scotsman explained earlier this week that it’s all part of the plan.

“We like Tyler a lot, but he’s another one we’ll bring on in time,” Moyes said after the West Ham draw.

“My first time here I had lots of players I brought in. We took a bit of time with them, we didn’t rush them. We’ll just have to accept we’ll bring Tyler on when we’re ready.

“I thought he kept the ball well and did some good things.”

Dibling could get his long-awaited opportunity from the start on Sunday and it may be the game to really kickstart his career on Merseyside.
