Everton v Ipswich Town: David Moyes makes huge mistake

David Moyes has made a mistake as he’s named his Everton playing eleven to take on Ipswich Town on Saturday.

This fixture is set to be the second-last one played in the Premier League at the Toffees’ historic home, Goodison Park.

The Merseyside outfit are set to make the stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock their new home from the 2025/26 season.

Moyes makes error picking James Garner

Moyes has named his eleven but picking James Garner, could prove to be a costly error.

The Englishman has struggled in recent games and this would’ve been the perfect game to start Tim Iroegbunam.

The former Aston Villa man is on the bench and is expected to play some part in the second half of the contest.

Regardless, Goodison Park will be electric for Everton’s clash against Ipswich Town, as it marks the Toffees’ penultimate match at their historic home before relocating.

With fans determined to savour these final moments, the atmosphere will be charged with emotion and nostalgia, especially after securing a 2-0 win in the reverse fixture.

Times when Everton have scored three or more goals in the league this season.

Evertonians are desperate for two final victories, starting with this game, to honour Goodison’s legacy.

Despite recent back-to-back losses to Manchester City and Chelsea, Everton’s form remains relatively solid, with only three defeats in 14 matches.

With Beto up top and Iliman Ndiaye’s goal-scoring threat, highlighted by his strike at Portman Road, bolsters their attack.

Defensively, Jake O’Brien and Jarrad Branthwaite provide stability despite James Tarkowski’s absence.

Everton can exploit Ipswich’s injury absentees

Conversely, Ipswich, already relegated after a 3-0 loss to Newcastle, are in disarray, with only one win in 2025 and 11 senior players unavailable, including key figures like Sammie Szmodics and Leif Davis.

Their makeshift defence, with Jacob Greaves at left-back, is vulnerable to Everton’s pacey wingers like Jack Harrison.

Liam Delap remains a threat, but Ipswich’s depleted squad lacks cohesion.

The Toffees’ superior quality, home advantage, and the emotional weight of Goodison’s farewell make them favourites.
