Everton will prepare for cup action in front of a capacity crowd at the Hill Dickinson Stadium for the first time, with Mansfield Town paying a visit on Wednesday night.
The Toffees have hosted 148 different opponents over the 133 years spent playing at Goodison Park, but the clash against League One side Mansfield Town will be the first time the two sides meet head-to-head.
Having beaten Brighton 2-0 last Sunday, the mood in Merseyside is positive ahead of the second round of the EFL Cup. Everton also secured the signing of Tyler Dibling earlier this week but he’s unlikely to feature in this clash.
Everton Team News and Predicted Starting XI
Everton Team News
David Moyes will probably look to rotate his side and keep his bench players sharp with valuable minutes here with one eye on the trip to Molineux to face Wolves this Saturday. Defenders Jarrad Branthwaite, Vitalii Mykolenko and Nathan Patterson are out of contention with injuries, while teenager Adam Aznou could make his official debut here after missing the first two games due to injury.
Mark Travers, signed as an understudy to Jordan Pickford, could also don the gloves for this game, while Tim Iroegbunam, off the back of an impressive performance against Brighton, could start in midfield again, looking to build momentum for the rest of the season.
Dwight McNeil could be due for his first start this season, and there might be minutes for Harrison Armstrong, who came on in the dying minutes of the previous game.
Everton’s predicted starting XI: Travers; O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Aznou; Iroegbunam, Garner; McNeil, Alcaraz, Dewsbury-Hall; Beto

I think it will be interesting to see what team we put out tonight. I doubt Ndiaye or Grealish or Gana will play. Maybe Anzou and Armstrong start along with McNeil and Alcaraz.
Not sure who will lead the line, I think he might play Beto. Not sure he can change the back 4 to much.

Has anybody else not had their tickets for tonight yet.
Phoned the club, recorded message: “Due to high volume we are not accepting calls today. Phone back tomorrow.”

Pete, the box office doesn't open until 10:00 am. That message was from last night.
I'm in the same boat and it's going to be a mad scramble come 10 am.
I've had an email saying payment has been successful and season ticket activated but my season ticket still shows the Brighton game as the next game.

There's advice on getting your ticket to show on yesterday's Toffee TV.
Something to do with switching auto update off then on again?

Pete, they wont be checking your phone that closely at the wall.
Just flash it at them and walk in.

There must be a problem with the tickets as I'm a ST holder and have just received a link to download tonight's separately.
I also received an email thanking me for buying a membership, which is bizarre

John, mine is Android and as far as I know there is no workaround.
Posted 27/08/2025 at 10:14:10
Rob, yes Ive got a couple of mates with the same issue.
Posted 27/08/2025 at 10:25:42
Rob just phoned the club again, as before: phone tomorrow.
As a Club View member, I am really getting fed up.

Paul Hughes,
Thank you very much. For 24 hours without success, I have been trying to sort my brother-in-law's old Samsung Android phone.
I followed your instructions and he is now the proud owner of a pass for tonight's Mansfield game.
