Joe Thomas - Garner begins on the right
What a difference a week makes!
Two emphatic away wins founded upon great performances and the momentum is with Everton. Not only that, but Jack Harrison is back, Dominic Calvert-Lewin has hit form and James Garner has turned into a creative monster. The question for me is where Garner plays today.
I’m conflicted. On the one hand I think this may be a chance to experiment. But ultimately this is a must-win and sticking to what we know can work is key, so it’s a 4-5-1 for me and the same as how it started against Brentford. That means Garner and McNeil out wide and Doucoure bursting through the middle. I would start Calvert-Lewin up top and Nathan Patterson at right back with Ashley Young moving across in the presumed absence of Vitalii Mykolenko.
The hope for me would be Everton can do what they haven’t done at Goodison in nearly a year and get a lead, a cushion, and room to experiment. I’d like to see Garner move into the middle, Harrison out wide and Arnaut Danjuma supporting the striker in a 4-4-2 /4-5-1 if the game allowed for it late on.
My team (4-5-1): Pickford; Young, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Patterson; McNeil, Onana, Doucoure, Gueye, Garner, Calvert-Lewin
