Sean Dyche Faces Potential Lineup Changes for Everton vs Nottingham Forest Due to Fresh Injury Worries.
Everton suffered a humiliating 6-0 defeat against Chelsea on Monday night (April 15), but it’s the injuries causing more concern among fans. According to the Liverpool Echo (April 17), Jarrad Branthwaite, Seamus Coleman, and Nathan Patterson are set to miss out against Forest, dealing a devastating blow to Dyche. However, there’s a glimmer of hope as Dominic Calvert-Lewin might be fit to play.
Alterations in Everton’s Defense Against Nottingham Forest.
Jordan Pickford may retain his position as Everton’s goalkeeper despite an expensive error in their previous encounter with the Blues.
In response to injury concerns, defensive adjustments are anticipated, although James Tarkowski and Vitali Mykolenko might maintain their starting roles. The right-back position presents a choice between Ben Godfrey and Ashley Young, with Young having recently operated as a winger. Michael Keane may enter the starting lineup, having replaced Branthwaite in the Chelsea match.
Dwight McNeil is expected to maintain his position, while Jack Harrison may enter the lineup on the opposite flank, potentially pushing Young back. To bolster the midfield following their struggles against Chelsea, Andre Gomes could be introduced from the start, potentially resulting in James Garner being left out. Abdoulaye Doucoure is likely to retain his midfield role ahead of the striker.
Beto, who saw a disallowed goal against Chelsea due to offside, might be replaced by Calvert-Lewin against Forest, following a frustrating performance.
