Everton manager Sean Dyche has kept changes to a minimum so far but the 2-0 defeat to Manchester United presented several selection dilemmas ahead of next Saturday’s crucial home game against Fulham.
Jordan Pickford, who was outstanding in goal, making several great saves to ensure Everton were not beaten by a much more embarrassing scoreline at Old Trafford, will be assured of his place but those in front of him now have question marks over their inclusion.
Captain Seamus Coleman’s individual error when failing to control Lisandro Martinez’s long punt upfield, allowed Marcus Rashford to square the ball to Anthony Martial for a simple tap-in for United’s second goal and he later left the field holding his leg as Nathan Patterson replaced him so the young Scotland international could be in with a chance of a recall at right-back.
