ℹ️ Team News: Everton
Seamus Coleman (Knee Injury), Dele Alli (Muscle partial avulsion) and Jack Harrison (Hip Injury) will be missing for Everton gaffer Sean Dyche.
It’s our opinion that The Toffees look set to use the 4-2-3-1 system for this one, beginning the first half with Jordan Pickford, Ashley Young, Jarrad Branthwaite, James Tarkowski, Vitali Mykolenko, Amadou Onana, Idrissa Gueye, James Garner, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Dwight McNeil and Beto.
ℹ️ Team News: Luton Town
With a fully injury-free squad available for selection, the Luton Town manager Rob Edwards has no fitness concerns to report before this clash.
We’re of the thinking that The Hatters might utilise a 4-3-3 lineup, choosing Thomas Kaminski, Issa Kabore, Reece Burke, Tom Lockyer, Amarii Bell, Ryan Giles, Marvelous Nakamba, Alfie Doughty, Jacob Brown, Carlton Morris and Chiedozie Ogbene.
🧠 Prediction
It looks to us that Everton will, in all likelihood, get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.
At the other end, Luton Town may well struggle finding the net themselves although we do think that they will probably end up scoring.
We can therefore see a decent 3-1 winning score for Everton after 90 minutes.
