Everton fans will be very keen to see whether a debut could be on the cards for Tyrique George on Saturday.
A quiet winter window for Everton was capped off with the late addition of George from Chelsea on an initial loan deal.
The early signs are extremely positive, with George seriously impressing in Everton training back at Finch Farm.
However, whether that translates into his first start for the club on Saturday against Fulham is another question.
David Moyes is not typically a manager who throws players straight into the mix, as was seen when Jack Grealish landed on Merseyside

Tyrique George simply must make his Everton debut
The footage from Everton’s training sessions this week has wowed the fanbase and it is no surprise.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has waxed lyrical about George following their time together at Stamford Bridge with Chelsea.
Ironically, George has scored one Premier League goal in his 12 appearances and that came away to Fulham.
David Moyes has surely got to throw George straight in from the start vs Fulham, hasn’t he!? 🤔

It will be interesting to see whether Moyes feels as if George has shown enough to warrant making the starting XI.
However, he is only on loan until the end of the season, which means he does have limited time to showcase his ability on Merseyside.
The direct nature of his game was apparent in the training footage shared and that is something that could really improve Everton’s attack.
Nathan Patterson should return to the starting XI
On deadline day, Everton decided to keep Nathan Patterson despite receiving interest from clubs across Europe.
The right-back was dropped back to the bench for the game last weekend against Brighton & Hove Albion.
If you are David Moyes, who would be your starting right-back for the remainder of the season? 🤔
Everton need more in attack from their full-backs

Jake O’Brien has been a solid option for Moyes, but Everton need a natural right-back playing in the position.
Wolves made a late push for Patterson on deadline day, but now it is time for Moyes to give him a run in the side.
Whether Moyes does that remains to be seen.
David Moyes left with an interesting midfield decision
Harrison Armstrong did not return to Preston North End on loan for the remainder of the season.
Now, Everton fans will want to see the youngster utilised by Moyes after deciding against sending him back to Deepdale, where he would have played regular minutes.
James Garner has nailed down his spot in the Everton XI, which leaves Idrissa Gana Gueye’s usual spot up for grabs for Armstrong.
The 18-year-old is the future of Everton’s midfield, but will Moyes be willing to uproot the experienced Senegal international just yet?
