Everton v Arsenal

Post

Saturday 8pm

Garner continues to be 1 booking away from suspension. Ndiaye and Gana unavailable as they're at AFCON.

Injury (doubts): Branthwaite, Coleman, Rohl, KDH, Grealish / Gabriel, Mosquera, Havertz, Dowman, White

Referee is Sam Barrott. His record with both teams is:

Everton: P5 W1 D1 L3 https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/samuel- ... n/1/plus/0
Arsenal: P6 W6 D0 L0 https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/samuel- ... n/1/plus/0

Pickford

JOB I Suppose Tark Keane Myko I Suppose

Garner Tim Alcaraz

Dibbers Barry Grealish/McNeil if No

433, or probably Alcaraz in the 10 tbh.

Try and keep it tight and get something jammy.

KDH a big miss I must admit. Full backs difficult to watch.

Would be nice to say rest garner rest Grealish etc for the games we have higher hopes for but the squads thin.

Looking forward to seeing Dibbling. Not an easy game to try and find your feet is it but go and make some magic young man.

Horrible feeling this could be a right shellacking.

I've made it clear that I don't rate Arsenal much and fancy us massively for this one.

They've already bottled the league, won't even be leaders by the time this kicks off.

My negativity is more to do with our current squad depth to be honest, feel like the afcon is a bridge to far.

Please dont play McNeil anywhere other than LM. Get wide and put some crosses in. (If Grealish is injured).

This will be brutal. They'll ruin our fullbacks and walk through the midfield at will. Chelsea showed what slick, precise passing does to us.

i fear were going to get turned over by arsenal here
due to injuries etc
but
if the gooners perform anything like they did last saturday v wolves we could get something from this
think they have lost the league mentally and city are in cruise mode - this is eating away at the gooners

Keep it tight. Make it a horrible game. Load up on corners.

Yeah let’s not rely on set pieces against the team massively better than everyone else at set pieces in the league

Getting pretty threadbare, hopefully Rohl can at least make the bench to add a little more depth there.

It's going to be a really big ask if KDH and maybe Grealish need to sit out on top of the AFCON absentees.

That's only with the two centre halves that cause all the problems but they are out injured, as well as Mosquera and Ben White now. They have no more big lads left to play, we've arguably got a better threat at set pieces.

Saliba is already back isn’t he?

Moyes is going to look to keep this at 0-0 for as long as possible.

It's probably when we concede does he keep it tight and get away with a narrow loss?

We'll need to work on defending set pieces. Let's not get undone like Spurs and Newcastle.
