Tyler Dibling makes full debut in two changes – Everton predicted XI vs Aston Villa
Everton boss David Moyes could hand Tyler Dibling his full debut when his side hosts Aston Villa on Saturday.
Moyes‘ side have won their last two Premier League matches after losing to Leeds United on the opening weekend.
Everton are expected to be without Jarrad Branthwaite at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on 13 September, as he has not progressed enough in his recovery from injury.
Former Everton man Amadou Onana will miss out for the visitors, with Boubacar Kamara joining him on the sidelines.
David Moyes forced into defensive change for Everton vs Aston Villa
Aston Villa may also be without Matty Cash against Everton as the full-back went off at half-time in Poland’s 3-1 win over Finland.
Moyes has a similar woe from international duty, with Everton star Vitaliy Mykolenko exiting Ukraine’s camp with a new injury and Adam Aznou still on the sidelines.
Other than that problem, his backline is expected to stay the same as the 3-2 win over Wolves.
Jordan Pickford is predicted to maintain his place between the sticks, with Jake O’Brien, James Tarkowski, and Michael Keane also staying put in defence.
- Keane made eight clearances in the win over Wolves
- He also made four interceptions
- He won three of o the five ground duels that he attempted, for a 60 per cent success rate.
James Garner might be shifted to the left-back position, which he featured at in the opening two matches, before Mykolenko returned.
Everton make changes in midfield and attack
Idrissa Gueye is expected to retain his place in the starting line-up, but his midfield partner, Garner, may not be next to him.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is predicted to drop back deeper to partner the Senegal ace against the Villa Park outfit.
Iliman Ndiaye is expected to stay on the right wing, but Tyler Dibling may be handed his full debut on the left flank after an impressive showing with England Under-21s.
| Stats | Dibling |
| Assists | 1 |
| Key passes | 1 |
| Duels won | 9 |
| Tackles made | 3 |
Jack Grealish is predicted to be shifted to the number 10 role, as a result of Dewsbury-Hall being forced into the number eight position.
Thierno Barry might get the nod upfront as Beto travelled a long distance on international duty, while the new man did not travel with the France under-21 side.
Despite the injury-enforced change to the backline, Moyes’ side should be able to come away with all three points.
They are the form side coming into the contest, and that should show on Saturday afternoon.
