I wouldn’t mind us playing Mané in that number 9 role again if Bobby isn’t fit, he poses a completely different threat so it gives Everton problems as they won’t know what they will be up against here.
Their main threats are Digne and Sigurrdson. I would like to think that their left back will be too busy containing Salah and Trent all game to forge any attacks. Sigurdsson is only a threat when he has space to run into in front of him which he shouldn’t have in Fabhino’s back pocket. Gomes was probably their best player in the first fixture against them this season, he had far too much time on the ball which we shouldn’t allow again.
I’m going for a convincing win here, I can’t see them doing much damage against us and their defence is probably on par with Watford.
