Match Thread Everton v Leicester City - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Ducans elbow]

Happy with that team

 

[DanB90]

Similar to Wolves game but with actual strikers, by the looks of it.

 

[messymascot]

This is what I think it will be
Pickford
MH/BG Mina Keane Digne
Davies BG/MH Gomes
James Calvert-Lewin Richarlison

Can't decide which way round Holgate and Godfrey will be but expect 4-3-3.

 

[DanEFC92]

Enough with the 2 keepers on the bench, pls

 

[Jim Hopper]

Pickford

Holgate Mina Keane Godfrey

Richarlison Davies Gomes Digne

James

DCL

This is what I’m thinking it will be.

 

[BillBrasky]

Not a million miles away to be fair!

Thank you sir! I knew he'd rotate Pickford in, I personally prefer Olsen because he's not an anxiety filled mess.

 

[TheSecondComing]

Best he could pick with what’s available 100%.

That bench though is vile bar Iwobi and excuse the young lad.

 

[Jayhow15]

Reckon it's:

Pickford
Holgate Mina Keane Godfrey
Rodriguez Gomes Davies Digne
Richy DCL

Something like that. Defo those players. Playing football.

 

[n01efc]

Five at the back with Holgate and Digne wing backs

 

[allen]

Love that no one has a clue what our shape is from that line-up. The Everton app had three at the back and Holgate wide right at first. They’ve changed that to 4-4-2 with DCL and Richy upfront.

Absolute chaos. Brendan won’t know what’s going on.

 

[Efctrueblue]

Reckon it's:

Pickford
Holgate Mina Keane Godfrey
Rodriguez Gomes Davies Digne
Richy DCL

Would imagine James will play off DCL and Richy RM as they have a lot of pace down their left

 

[BlueToff]

That's a sensible team.

Keeps the solidity and gives us width down the left.

Be like Wolves but the added threat of Richarlison and DCL to get onto some Digne crosses.

Let's hope it works!

 

[Ivo]

Keep to a back four, no need to tinker with formation when we're on a good run.

 

[Zatara]

Pickford
Holgate Mina Keane Godfrey
James Davies Gomes Digne
DCL Richarlison

Pickford
Holgate Mina Keane Godfrey
Davies Gomes
James
Richarlison DCL Digne
​

Thats a very exciting selection.

When Doucoure and Allan are back it will be glorious



Put these to the sword.

Reckon it's:

Pickford
Holgate Mina Keane Godfrey
Rodriguez Gomes Davies Digne
Richy DCL

I get the feeling it's this too.

Digne has shown he's more than capable of playing on the left wing, especially with Hamez pinging balls in to him. Richarlison and DCL up front will always be a handful, and actually I think it suits them both, more so Richarlison. The soft centre of Gomes and Davies should be compensated against with the flat back four, and two strikers pressing. I'm hopeful this can work very well.
