Match Thread Watford v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Rich1878]

Doesn't matter . I get what you are saying, don't get me wrong . But we are going there with bags of confidence and back 2 back wins . It's only the fans who are being slightly negative

And that wasn't a dig by the way. Even im slightly sceptical, but I simply refuse to let it beat me. ?

Everton have been presented with a very good opportunity to get three priceless points. Do not blow it. UTFT

Michael Keane is restored to Everton's starting XI, as manager Frank Lampard makes one enforced change for Wednesday's Premier League meeting with Watford.

Defender Keane replaced the stricken Yerry Mina during the opening half of the win over Leciester City on Sunday. And he comes into the team at Vicarage Road as part of a likely back three, also featuring Mason Holgate and captain Seamus Coleman.

Lampard sticks with the front three of Richarlison, playing at the home of the club he left for Everton in summer 2018, Anthony Gordon and Demarai Gray.

Fabian Delph starts for the fifth time in six Premier League matches. He is partnered by Abdoulaye Doucoure in the centre of midfield.

Vitalii Mykolenko, who spectacularly opened his Everton scoring account at Leicester, continues at left-wing-back, with Alex Iwobi filling the position on the right.

Jordan Pickford is Everton's goalkeeper.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Salomon Rondon, Dele, Allan and Tom Davies are all named on Everton's bench.

That quintet is joined among manager Lampard's substitutes by Andre Gomes, Jonjoe Kenny, Jarrad Branthwaite and Asmir Begovic.

I presume we will play the same formation with a 5-2-3 / 5-4-1

I'm not really a fan of that formation in general, but we are getting results, so, I can understand us sticking with it.

Watford tend to play a 4-5-1 or 4-3-3, so we can probably expect to get outmanned in the center of midfield and I am sure they will win the passing and possession stats. But I dont care as long as we win. COYB's

A chance for us to move away from relegation worries...
Strong line-up based on winning team from the last 2 games...
