Joe Thomas - "I would slightly freshen things up"
Frank Lampard has settled on a formula and he should stick with it. While the draw at Watford was frustrating, it highlighted the limitations of the Everton squad at this particular time, in this specific scenario. There is potential for much better, but right now it is important to be pragmatic.
But while I would keep the formation that has made Everton so hard to beat in recent weeks, I would slightly freshen things up. Allan is the necessary change, coming in for the injured Fabian Delph. I would then bring in Dominic Calvert-Lewin for Demarai Gray. It would give Everton a mobile targetman, allow Richarlison to slot into his more natural position out wide and provide Lampard with the chance to unleash Gray in the second half when he could be potent.
