Would like to see Aina back at LB over Robinson and Tete return at RB. Would also like to see Reid start ahead of Cav as I think he's more effective. Hopefully we can actually give Maja some service vs Palace, was isolated a lot yesterday. Delighted we got the job done yesterday!

That's the exact same team I would elect to go with.
I'd like to see RLC dropping a bit deeper (to try and outnumber the Palace midfield two) and BDR & Lookman getting further forward in possession.
I'm hoping Palace have a real battle with Brighton tomorrow night & pick-up a few red cards. Unfortunately, without a crowd, I doubt this fixture will have anything like the usual intensity.
Good lineup.
Get rid of RLC
Play Mitro (if he's fit) and let the middle 4 interchange both left to right and midfield to support the front 2.
BDR is the best we have in that combination and can cover a marauding RB
Please also don't forget he is our top scorer and can mostly keep his shooting between the 'sticks'
That's a good lineup and certainly currently the best starting line up in my opinion. RLC will currently be far more effective than Mitro who is nowhere near match fit and has had to isolate again. RLC probably had his best game on Saturday even though he still isn't firing on all cylinders but he will contribute more than Mitro who has a bit of catching up to do.

Definitely Tete vs Zaha. Might be tempted by Robinson for his pace if he switches sides

Mitro cannot have recovered from Covid yet, we have to forget him for a while, best to hope for is the bench at Anfield on 7th March I would think.
RLC. In every line up big change from a few weeks ago.
Maistone Lee has it spot on BUT be great if Cairney on the bench by then, he has the guile to unlock their defence and the passing skill to implement it....also Mitro if he is fit.I would also think about having Joe Bryan as a sub too as his crossing and dead ball work is excellent.
Starting to have a really good bench now !Just need another goalscorer, be lovely if Mitro got back to his best.
Team that payed Everton for me.
For Palace away I can see SP revert to 5 at the back.
Scott has now said that Mitro is back and has recovered from Covid so I expect to see him on the bench and used as a late sub against Palace.

This, in this formation rather than 4-4-1-1.
Bit tricky as a draw suits them much more than us and attacking them is what they want - we just dont have enough cutting edge to sit back though and 4-4-1-1 vs "safety first" Palace has draw written all over it. We need to be brave, apply educated pressure and we aware of the counter so pick our moments.

Agree with that lineup (whatever formation you want to call it)

RCB 5 J Andersen

RM 14 B Decordova-Reid

It could be a tight game with a lot happening in the last half hour. Palace could just surprise us with Zaha off the bench andwe could cause them problems with Mitro.

That would be my team. Maja needs to be less isolated up front though, have Reid playing closer to him.
Areola + 10 other blokes and I am good. :beer:

that's a good line up
Parker will have a good lineup, but his 1st and 2nd substitutions will be 10-20 minutes too late in the gane.

Maybe we will have a great lead and it won't matter......

Yes, I noticed that and it is not a bad idea. We need something different to liven up the attack and to take Roy by surprise.
The team Scott has just released is the best team we could have named in the cirumstances.
Now need Tom Cairney back and fit and ready to go and we can start moving on up.The line up is excellent today. Let's hope we do not sp[end too long in their half just passing from side to side. That is the recipe for coming second.
Score first and dominate. Good luck lads !!!
