Everton are set to take on Brentford in the Premier League on Sunday, but David Moyes is set for a selection dilemma.
Moyes watched his Everton side win 2-0 against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, and will expect the same from his players this weekend.
Bet you weren’t expecting that when you saw the starting XI! 👏
The Toffees are currently in eighth place in the Premier League and are eyeing a European finish come the end of the season.
Carlos Alcaraz among seven likely absentees vs Brentford
Injury Expert Ben Dinnery, via his website Premier Injuries, has issued an update on the players likely to be ruled out against Brentford.
Carlos Alcaraz and Michael Keane were injured for the Brentford game and may not be fit enough to take on the Bees over the weekend.
How can you pick JUST one player as your MOTM vs Forest? 🤯
What a brilliant performance from the Toffees!
Seamus Coleman is also unavailable with a thigh injury and is expected to be out until the end of January.
Jarrad Branthwaite may be back before, with him also out with a similar concern.
The England international has battled injury issues over the past few years and is still struggling.
How can Everton cope with all the missing players?
With Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall likely to be out and Iliman Ndiaye and Idrissa Gueye unavailable due to AFCON, Everton are short on options.
There is a very good chance that Moyes plays the same side that beat Nottingham Forest 2-0.
Alternatively, if he deems Jack Grealish ready to start then he could bring on the Manchester City loanee.
Apart from that, with the options available to Moyes, the rest of the team picks itself.
There is optimism going into the game at the Hill Dickinson Stadium for the hosts despite the injuries and absentees.
Fans will be hoping that they pick up three more points as they aim to climb up the table.
