Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure has returned to the squad after missing the draw at Brentford to be at the birth of his son.

Everton have triumphed in just one of their 23 Premier League matches without Abdoulaye Doucoure since the beginning of the 2022-23 season, but have won 33.8% of games when he has been involved.

That's encouraging! Thank you, BBC Sport.

Like the feather in Dumbo. Does sod all in reality but for whatever reason, we need him.

It’s weird there are some players who look like they do nothing and are useless to fans but managers love them and then the stats back them up.

I guess we can see why managers get the cash they do, there are sides of the game we must miss as just fans.

Nar, you can twist stats to fit any agenda.

Doucs has a high win rate when he plays, for a team that historically didnt win much, our lack of wins skews the stats.

Its like saying we have a high win chance when we wear blue socks, its meaningless.

I think if we can reach the standards we have played at recently then we should be more likely to win. I just fear that maybe the break away might have taken the edge off our game and could be one of those games

I'd like to see us start our away games better.
No reason we can't get out the blocks and take the game to them.
The pressure's off us and all on them.
Let's play with bit of freedom.
1-3.

i’d take a draw

they’re ok at home

our record against these apart from the home win is atrocious

the break is to rest and train in nicer weather

they didn’t sit off on the beach drinking

and partying in clubs

Dilemma... it was recently "we are knackered, squad too small, need a break"... now it's "we are too rested, lost momentum"...

Why aren’t you using that term most of us recently learnt? Desmond.

Got a bit of confidence going into this one. I feel the break will have done us some good, giving the players that have more or less had to play every game recently, a breather, plus now a couple more players that may be fit enough to come on towards the end if needs be. We’re a different team to the one under Dyche, every chance we come away with 3 points tonight.

That said, these guys will give us a game, with or without Cunha. Got more about them compared to the other teams below us and they’ll have targeted this game as one they can win and they’ll know that 3 points for them will mean that they can begin to think about next season as a top flight club, while still not quite being out of the woods.

Gut feeling, we’ll win this 2-1
