Everton take on Stoke City in their third pre-season friendly tomorrow night.
David Moyes’ side have already played against Dundee and Bolton Wanderers so far, beating the Scots 4-0 but being held to a 0-0 draw by the Championship side.
The game against Bolton was underwhelming, with some fans expressing their concern about the performance and lack of creativity and intensity.
With Seamus Coleman gone, who should become Everton’s next long-term captain?🫡
But there is a chance to improve tomorrow night against another Championship side in Stoke at the Bet365 Stadium.

How Everton could line up against Stoke
Moyes will likely look to change things up against Stoke, as he seeks to get a better look at his players.
Jordan Pickford still isn’t back, so Mark Travers will probably start again.
It will be interesting to see if it’ll be a back three with wing-backs or a normal four. Perhaps the Scot will revert back to a four this time, with Jarrad Branthwaite and Jake O’Brien playing as a pair for the first time, with Merlin Rohl and Vitalii Mykolenko as the full-backs.
In midfield, Hayden Hackney might get a first run out, having been working his way back to fitness after an injury at the end of last season.
He could pair up with Tim Iroegbunam, at the expense of Harrison Armstrong, who impressed against Bolton, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to play as a 10.
Out wide, Tyrique George will surely start again, and perhaps Tyler Dibling could get a start on the right if he has shaken off his knock.
Beto started on the bench on Saturday, so he might get the nod over Thierno Barry to lead the line.
As always, pre-season lineups are very tricky to predict, but Moyes will surely look to get good minutes into the legs of as many players as possible.
