Club captain Seamus Coleman returned to the right-back position, which meant that Ben Godfrey shifted to the left side in place of Vitaliy Mykolenko.<\/p>\n<p>The centre-back pairing of James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite remained, the duo starting 26 Premier League games together. Jordan Pickford has been steadfast in goals, starting all league games and earning eight clean sheets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/02\/29\/everton-777-partners\/\" target=\"_self\">Who Are 777 Partners? Everton\u2019s Potential New Owners And Why They Might Not Pass The \u2018Fit And Proper\u2019 Test<\/a><\/p>\n<p>James Garner and Amadou Onana started in the base of the midfield with Abdoulaye Doucoure playing in the advanced midfielder role. The return of Andre Gomes has led to him rotating through these roles, predominantly as a substitution.<\/p>\n<p>Jack Harrison and Dwight McNeil occupied the wings. The absence of Arnaut Danjuma has meant that Ashley Young is the only other rotational piece for these positions. Up front, Dominic Calvert-Lewin returned to the starting lineup after being a substitute for the previous two games. Portuguese striker Beto made way for the move but was partnered with the Englishman later in the game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch:\u00a0<\/strong>The Domino Effect Ruining Football<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"THE DOMINO EFFECT RUINING FOOTBALL\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fNQxiqia1Vo?start=19&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Everton Recent Form and Tactics<\/h3>\n<p>Everton are winless in 2024 amidst an 11-game that has seen them pick up five draws and six defeats. Unable to capitalise on periods of good play, the Toffees are the third lowest-scoring team in the league. The excellent early season defence has also faded, failing to record a clean sheet in their previous seven games.<\/p>\n<p>Dyche will likely line the team up in a 4-2-3-1 that shifts towards a 4-4-2 when pressing when deep in defence. The two low blocks of four are a staple of any team managed by the former Burnley boss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/02\/27\/everton-adboulaye-doucoure-importance-sean-dyche\/\" target=\"_self\">Abdoulaye Doucoure\u2019s Renaissance: Why He Is Everton\u2019s Most Important Player<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the reverse fixture, Everton won 3-0. Their goals were created by quick and sharp attacks out wide from turnovers. They will look to exploit this again with McNeil and Harrison particularly adept at pressing in this system. The Toffees are third in tackles in their forward third, coming up against a higher-possession team<\/p>\n<h3>Everton Injuries to Consider<\/h3>\n<p>Idrissa Gueye looks to return after missing the squad last game out, Dyche confirmed he is fit in the press conference before the game against Bournemouth. Arnaut Danjuma will continue to work with the first team as he looks to return from an ankle injury he suffered in January.<\/p>\n<h3>Everton Predicted Line Up<\/h3>\n<p>GK: Jordan Pickford<\/p>\n<p>RB: Seamus Coleman<\/p>\n<p>CB: James Tarkowski<\/p>\n<p>CB: Jarrad Branthwaite<\/p>\n<p>LB: Vitaliy Mykolenko<\/p>\n<p>CM: James Garner<\/p>\n<p>CM: Idrissa Gueye<\/p>\n<p>CAM: Abdoulaye Doucoure<\/p>\n<p>LM: Dwight McNeil<\/p>\n<p>RM: Jack Harrison<\/p>\n<p>ST: Beto<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everton head north to face Newcastle at St. James Park in a midweek Premier League clash.
