Everton Predicted Lineup In Last Ever Goodison Derby<\/h2>\n

How Everton Have Lined Up<\/h3>\n

Everton have only rotated their league line-up through injury in manager David Moyes\u2019 second tenure at the club. The first change was Dominic Calvert-Lewin making way for Beto. The striker took his chance, scoring two goals<\/a> against Leicester.<\/p>\n

On the left wing,\u00a0 Iliman Ndiaye has been one of Everton\u2019s best players, often playing in an inverted role. Jesper Lindstrom has started in a right midfield-wingback hybrid position in recent league matches.<\/p>\n

In the middle Abdoulaye Doucoure is played as an attacking midfielder in front of a double pivot. Often that double pivot involved Idrissa Gueye and Orel Mangala, James Garner has replaced the latter recently due to injury.<\/p>\n

James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite are the centrepiece of the Everton defence, helping them to eight league clean sheets. Jake O\u2019Brien lines up at right-back but is often shifted to a more central role throughout the game. While on the left Vitaliy Mykolenko has been given more freedom to play a wingback role.<\/p>\n

Everton\u2019s Recent Form and Tactics<\/h3>\n

The Toffees have won their last three Premier League games, they now sit nine points above the relegation zone.<\/p>\n

Their attack has improved immensely under Moyes. This is in part due to a tactics shift since his arrival. Everton now play with a fluid 4-2-3-1 system that turns into a 5-2-2-1 in defence.<\/p>\n

In this match, they will primarily focus on their counter-attacking abilities. Their primary outlet is Ndiaye, who occupies an inside forward role while they defend.<\/p>\n

His ability on the ball opens up the wide areas for Mykolenko to bomb down the left flank and look for crosses.<\/p>\n

Everton Injuries To Consider<\/h3>\n

Tim Iroegbunam has returned from a long-term injury but is yet to see significant minutes and will likely be on the bench for this fixture. While Armando Broja and Youssef Chermiti both have long-term injuries, the former is likely out for the season.<\/p>\n
