Swansea are struggling badly. Bradley is still trying to get to grips with the Premier League, and I doubt that he will be able to save them.

They lined up against Manchester United like this;

Fabianski
Rangel van der Hoorn Mawson Kingsley
Routledge Britton Ki Sigurdsson
Gonzalez Llorente

Barrow and Montero came on at half time, then Fer.

It's a good opportunity for an Everton win - but the weekend after the international break is always a little unpredictable. Still, Barkley should be up for it. And Baines and McCarthy are ready to return.

I can't believe that Gueye was suspended before Barry! But he has been our main influence in midfield, saving Barry the effort.
 

Will be interesting to see McCarthy and Gueye in the middle. Could bring the best out of James

This all day long. 2 energetic ball-winning midfielders, one can sit, one can press and vice-versa. What a difference this could make removing that crab Sniderley.

Baines back as well :) Feeling confident on this! COYB
 

I don't believe in this 'Everton way' stuff. It's used in a negative manner and sounds Kopite.

I'm surprised at you, Khal', a man of your age!


Actually I was being ironic, Jeff.

Everton way or no Everton way, your own experiences as an Evertonian should have taught you that to regard today's game as a mere formality that EFC should "win without much trouble" is an exercise in naivety.

I hope you are right, though ;)
 
It does feel like failure to win here will mean we're in for a long hard slog and it would be difficult to see us get near Top 8.
Of course it would be great to win comfortably with a few goals but I'll settle for a win of any sort, grinding out wins is better than dropping points.
