Ongoing injuries in the squad have led to Ashley Young starting at right back for most of the season. While on the left, Vitaliy Mykolenko has started when fit.<\/p>\n<p>Idrissa Gueye remains one of Everton\u2019s most important players and will start any game if fit. Alongside him has been a rotation of players, including Orel Mangala and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/02\/27\/everton-adboulaye-doucoure-importance-sean-dyche\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Abdoulaye Doucour\u00e9<\/a> in the last two games.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/10\/03\/jarrad-branthwaite-everton-defence\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Jarrad Branthwaite Returns From Injury: Why He Will Turn Around the Everton Defence<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/08\/29\/iliman-ndiaye-everton\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Iliman Ndiaye<\/a> and Dwight McNeil have formed a partnership and are switching between left midfield and the second striker role. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/07\/31\/jesper-lindstrom-everton-attack\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Jesper Lindstr\u00f8m<\/a> started his third game of the season on the right of midfield against Southampton.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/02\/14\/should-dominic-calvert-lewin-be-evertons-leading-man\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Dominic Calvert-Lewin<\/a> has started every Premier League match this season, but pressure is mounting for the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/football\/66644536\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">powerful&#8221;<\/a>\u00a0striker <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/11\/07\/beto-everton-attack\/\" target=\"_self\">Beto<\/a> to replace him in the lineup.<\/p>\n<h3>Everton Recent Form and Tactics<\/h3>\n<p>Everton handed Southampton their first clean sheet in a 1-0 away defeat last match. The Toffees still sit outside the relegation zone despite their poor start to the season. However, they face a Hammers team that has had a similarly disappointing start to the season; they sit just two spots ahead in 14th.<\/p>\n<p>The Blues have never been more reliant on the long ball to create their chances. Last season they could force teams into turnovers higher up the pitch but have been unable to recreate that this season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/09\/24\/friedkin-reach-agreement-purchase-everton\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Friedkin Group Reach Agreement For Purchase Of Everton: What It Means For The Clubs Future<\/a><\/p>\n<p>They also have the least amount of progressive carries in the league. This is despite the addition of Ndiaye, who excels with the ball at his feet. If The Toffees are to get a result at the London Stadium, it will result from deep balls to the wide areas.<\/p>\n<p>Lindstr\u00f8m and McNeil will be crucial in Sean Dyche\u2019s 4-2-3-1 system as they occupy the wide areas. Whichever striker is to start will have their work cut out against The Hammers central defenders who all stand at 6\u20193 or taller.<\/p>\n<h3>Everton Injuries To Consider<\/h3>\n<p>Dyche outlined player availability in this week&#8217;s press conference. Branthwaite has been eased into playing time to avoid another reinjury. Ndiaye and Doucoure are both \u2018hopefuls\u2019 after missing some training this week. Armando Broja has joined first team training but is still a while off making his debut for the club.<\/p>\n<h3>Everton Predicted Lineup<\/h3>\n<p>GK: Jordan Pickford<\/p>\n<p>RB: Ashley Young<\/p>\n<p>CB: Michael Keane<\/p>\n<p>CB: James Tarkowski<\/p>\n<p>LB: Vitaliy Mykolenko<\/p>\n<p>CM: Orel Mangala<\/p>\n<p>CM: Idrissa Gueye<\/p>\n<p>CAM: Dwight McNeil<\/p>\n<p>LM: Iliman Ndiaye<\/p>\n<p>RM: Jesper Lindstrom<\/p>\n<p>ST: Beto<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everton travel to East London to face West Ham on Saturday November 9.
