Idrissa Gueye and Iliman Ndiaye featured in the midfield along with James Garner, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Harrison Armstrong. Thierno Barry was the striker up front.
Everton Recent Form And Tactics
The 2-1 victory Everton secured in their most recent game may have gained them crucial points, however the performance still wasn’t totally convincing. The Toffees looked second best for large chunks of the game and there were major concerns when Mykolenko scored an own goal in the 18th minute to put Fulham ahead.
It took until the 75th minute for Dewsbury-Hall to pull one back, and with a bit of confidence in the team, they managed to apply enough pressure to cause Fulham’s goalkeeper Bernd Leno to punch the ball into his own net, from a corner, in the 83rd minute.

Everton have struggled at home recently, despite showing really strong away performances. Asked about his side’s home form, the managersaid: “”We’ve got to try to turn our away form into good home form.
“We need to pick up a few more wins at our stadium.
“We’ve got a great new stadium. We’re going to be there for a long, long time, so the sooner we get used to it, the better.”
Injuries and Suspensions
No new injuries have been added to the squad, meaning Jack Grealish is the only player who remains out with a foot injury. Commenting on returning players, Moyessaid: “We’re still nursing one or two. Obviously, Jarrad Branthwaite, coming back from injury. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall too. Charly Alcaraz. We’ve had a bundle of players who’ve been out, but they’re back fit.”
