Joe Thomas - Vitalii Mykolenko comes straight back in
Vitalii Mykolenko comes straight back in if he’s fit. That allows Jarrad Branthwaite to move inside next to James Tarkowski and Dyche to go back to four at the back in the Premier League.
Doucoure’s absence makes the next move tough. Everton really missed the link between defence and attack when they played a relatively flat central midfield against Fulham, it is a big issue when Doucoure is unavailable.
I would try something different as a result. I’d have Onana and Garner in the middle with Jack Harrison playing behind the striker; he did that against Newcastle, and I liked parts of that approach. I would then put McNeil on the left and Danjuma on the right, with Beto up front.
That would give Calvert-Lewin a break and also create the potential for Everton to pose a threat against the high Spurs back line. McNeil tends to sit deeper, and I like the idea of him and Harrison trying to slip Beto and Danjuma through, and for McNeil to also go for the diagonal to try to send Danjuma into space on Spurs’ left, where injuries leave them relatively weak.
My team: Pickford; Mykolenko, Branthwaite, Tarkowski, Patterson; McNeil, Onana, Harrison, Garner, Danjuma; Beto.
