Everton Predicted Lineup GW2

GK - Pickford

RB - O'Brien

CB - Tarkowski

CB - Keane

LB - Garner

CM - Irroegbunam

CM - Gueye

AM - Dewsberry-Hall

RW - Alcaraz

LW - Ndiaye

ST - Beto

Everton Team News:

• Speaking on all of his defensive injuries, Moyes revealed “Jarrad [Branthwaite] is on the way but not fit, neither is Mykolenko – and Nathan Patterson is not fit, either. Aznou has trained today for the first time, so we’ll see how he goes.”
• It does not sound promising for Aznou, who will need to regain match fitness and sharpness, as well as of course ruling out Mykolenko, Branthwaite and Patterson.
• Ndiaye and Alcaraz will start on the wings, although Grealish once he gains match fitness will likely become a factor and may oust Alcaraz from the starting lineup.
• Beto should start as the striker in GW2 but we need to watch how the battle between he and Barry plays out and see if Moyes’ press conference’s over the next few weeks indicate any preference.

Players to watch:

Branthwaite:

Mykolenko:

Aznou:

Alcaraz:

Brighton GW1 Predicted Lineup:

Brighton Predicted Lineup GW2

GK - Verbruggen

RB - Wieffer

CB - Van Hecke

CB - Dunk

LB - De Cuyper

CM - Ayari

CM - Baleba

AM - O'Riley

RW - Minteh

LW - Mitoma

ST - Rutter

Brighton Team News:

• Wieffer and De Cuyper have a stranglehold on the full-back spots for now. De Cuyper at £4.5m, and he is on set pieces, is very attractive.
• Baleba will be staying at Brighton this season after strong rumours that United were making a push to sign him, but Brighton’s asking price was too high for United this summer. Ayari seems to be his favoured partner in midfield although Hinshelwood and Gomez will rotate in some weeks.
• Hurzeler confirmed that Hinshelwood simply was not ready to feature in GW1, but he has been back in team training for some time and he should be ready to feature off the bench in GW2. He becomes an option not only in central midfield but also at right-back.
• Hurzeler’s preferred front-4 is Mitoma and Minteh on the wings with O’Riley in the 10 and Rutter, as long as Welbeck is gaining match fitness, is the man to play up-top.
