Everton Predicted Lineup Vs West Ham For March 15<\/h2>\n

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

Everton has maintained a consistent lineup under Moyes. The only change in their last four matches has been the rotation of Carlos Alcaraz and Abdoulaye Doucoure in the attacking midfield role.<\/p>\n

Everton plays with a double pivot at the base of midfield, with Idrissa Gueye and James Garner starting there. Providing width in the midfield is Jesper Lindstrom and Jack Harrison, the latter scoring his first goal of the season in the last match. Guinea-Bissau striker Beto leads the team up front.<\/p>\n

The defence has played exceptionally well and has not changed in eight league matches. Jordan Pickford has started every league game in goal as has James Tarkowski at centre-back. Alongside Tarkowski has been England international Jarrad Branthwaite. On the right of defence Jake O\u2019Brien, naturally a central defender, has been playing as a makeshift right back. Vitaliy Mykolenko has returned to better form on the left.<\/p>\n

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

The Toffees’ great early run under Moyes has come to a halt with three consecutive draws. But they remain undefeated in eight league matches. Making the most of their chances has been a recent struggle with Beto not keeping his stellar run of five goals in his first four starts. But the team still plays to his strengths, aiming to get him in behind the defence.<\/p>\n

High pressure and forcing turnovers in their attacking third are key to their chance creation. The key to this is Gueye whose work rate helps keep the opposition from settling. Garner is crucial to the quick counters, with the ball often finding him straight after a turnover.<\/p>\n

Defensively they focus on making the opposition go wide and cross into their defence, both Branthwaite and Tarkowski being well-equipped in the air. Their formation turns into a 5-2-2-1 from a 4-2-3-1, allowing O\u2019Brien who stands at 6\u20195 to help with any aerial balls.<\/p>\n

Everton Injuries To Consider<\/h3>\n

Seamus Coleman and Armando Broja are closing in on a return to the first team after long-term injuries. Meanwhile, Iliman Ndiaye, Dwight McNeil, and Orel Mangala are all sidelined for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n
