With their defensive problems I wouldn't be surprised if Moyes played a similar style to how we played against Utd to expose their aerial frailties.

Why would he play 2 defenders at CM when he has Fellaini and Osman who can play there. Dont be stupid. At most it will be Neville in midfield alongside Osman or Fellaini with the other pushing up to the CAM role.

Seen a few people hinting towards Neville Heitinga midfield.

Even Neville in midfield is bad enough, to play in midfield you have to have better distribution than he is, he slows the tempo down.

Fellaini Osman Holding for me

Mirallas, Naismith and Pienaar as the 3 just off and around Jelavic

Thats exactly what i would play mate. Fellaini and Osman deep and those three infront. BUT, think Osman and Fellaini wont offer that much protection to the back four and both love to get forward and even though Tiote isnt there, Cabaye will still be a threat. I wouldnt be too fussed if it was Fellaini and Neville to be honest. Gives Fellaini a lot of freedom.
 

To be fair it's a good sign that everyones moaning about what formation Moyes is gonna play and how its gonna fail...normally the complete opposite then unfolds with both Hibbert and Neville having the game their life.

Come on Everton deese are actually sh**e!
 

I think Naisy will bag a handful tonight. Might even put some money on it (and the obvious any time Jelavic moneymaker).

Everton Everton Eveerrtooooooon!

Moyes could play Mirallas behind Jelavic and play Fellaini deeper or he could try him on the right hand side. It would be doubtful though, as we'll want to double up on Ben Arfa.

Williamson Perch Taylor Santon
Ben Arfa Cabaye Anita Guitierrez
__________Ba Cisse

They have defensive issues with Krul, Simpson, Ryan Taylor and Coloccini likely to miss out and Pardew will be banished to the stands. Pienaar and Baines could potentially have a field day down the left. Cabaye is supposedly tired and struggling for form, whilst Anita is finding his feet. With Fellaini dropping in to help Neville and Osman we could outnumber and outmuscle them in the centre too. Cisse and Ba only have one goal between them in a combined 8 games and they were well-shackled on their last visit to Goodison. We'll want to atone for a drab performance at the Hawthorns, especially as we could move up to third with a win. Unless Newcastle are able to frustrate us and potentially nick something, we should win this.
