Everton vs West Ham Predicted Line-Up: Midfield Concerns Again.
Everton are back in play at Goodison Park after some moderately hopeful news this week, still hunting for their first Premier League home win in 2024, as well as their first win of any sort since mid-December.
With another point deduction on the horizon, getting further away from the relegation zone is the order of the day.
So, how will Mr Dyche prepare his blue boys?
Who’s out?
According to Sean Dyche’s pre-match news conference on Thursday afternoon, the Blues’ midfield could be weak, with both Amadou Onana and Idrissa Gana Gueye questionable due to groyne concerns.
Andre Gomes is “back on the grass,” but there is no news on whether he will participate.
Aside from that, only Arnaut Danjuma and Dele remain.
Only an extra-time equaliser prevented Everton from winning at Brighton last week, and it would be surprising to see Mr Dyche deviate too much from that recipe – despite the fact that the Blues have been failing to produce chances from open play recently.
Godfrey will most likely hold his position at right-back, and the rest of the back line is relatively stable.
McNeil and Harrison will almost certainly play on the wings, with Garner and Doucoure partnering with the fitter of the two doubts: Gueye or Onana. I would say Gueye is more likely.
Calvert-Lewin is on top. It’s been 20 games across all competitions since he last scored. He has three goals with an xG of 9.03, thus
