Everton could really do with a break right now to help David Moyes recoup some of the players currently absent from his selection.
It has been a torrid run for Everton, who have seen their form built up towards December come crashing down.
Moyes has now only seen one win secured in over a month as the Blues have seen their squad decimated.
There will be a hope that players soon start to make a return from injury, with Jack Grealish returning from suspension this weekend.
It is now just Premier League games for Everton to focus on, having been dumped out of the FA Cup at the weekend against Sunderland.
However, a lot of their Premier League rivals still have the historic competition to also bear in mind, with four clubs also still in the Carabao Cup.
Everton could go a full month without Premier League football
Everton News columnist Alan Myers believes Jarrad Branthwaite is set to return for Everton following his lengthy injury absence.
The Blues are in desperate need of players returning to availability following a really difficult month of results on Merseyside.
However, the FA Cup and Carabao Cup, despite not being in either competition, could soon provide Everton with a month off football.
What do you miss most about Goodison Park after months in the Hill Dickinson Stadium? 🥺
The new stadium has surpassed all expectations so far 🔥
In March, Everton are set to play Arsenal (14th) and Chelsea (21st) before not playing again until 11th April.
Chelsea are in the final four of the Carabao Cup and will find themselves playing on Sunday, 22nd March if they do make it to the final.
That will, therefore, see Everton’s clash against the Blues changed to a later date and provide Everton with 28 days between the game against Arsenal and Brentford.
Moyes has been left frustrated with Everton over recent weeks as the results have not gone in their favour.
The lack of squad options is certainly not helping the 62-year-old, who may be in favour of seeing a break in action given the way the season has gone at the Hill Dickinson.
Everton would be set for a busy end to the season
If Chelsea do make it to the final, then the Toffees will naturally see their clash against Liam Rosenior’s side pushed back into the final two months of the season.
Clubs already see a busy end to the campaign as games often come thick and fast over the final weeks.
If you could change one thing about the Hill Dickinson, what would it be? 🤔
The potential rearranged fixture would likely see yet another midweek game held at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Everton fans have already complained about late kick-offs at the new stadium due to the poor transport network around the ground.
Another rescheduled game could be in the offing, with Everton now set to have their eyes on how Chelsea fare against Arsenal in the two-leg semi-final.
