Tyler Dibling gets his chance in two changes as David Moyes make bold call – Everton predicted XI vs Burnley

Tyler Dibling may finally get an opportunity to shine when Everton travel to Burnley on Saturday.

Dibling has been an outcast since signing for Everton, starting just once in the Premier League so far this season.

However, with Iliman Ndiaye away from Everton at the Africa Cup of Nations, he may finally be handed the chance to show his ability at Turf Moor on 27 December.

David Moyes is facing several injury issues in his Everton squad, and that may convince him that the former Southampton gem should get the nod.

Everton to make two changes for Burnley clash

Jordan Pickford has been a reliable presence for Everton and he is predicted to retain his place between the sticks.

With Seamus Coleman still out, Jake O’Brien is expected to remain at right-back, with Vitalii Mykolenko operating on the left flank.

James Tarkowski and Michael Keane are predicted to keep their partnership in the centre of defence, as Jarrad Branthwaite is still a few weeks away from a return.

Tim Ireogbunam and James Garner impressed against the Gunners despite defeat, and they are expected to keep their places in the engine room.

On the flanks, Dwight McNeil failed to create a single chance, so Dibling might be called upon to replace him, as Moyes makes a bold call and backs the youngster to make an impact.

Jack Grealish is the creative hub of this Blues team, and he is predicted to continue on the left side of the attack.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall looks set to miss out, so Carlos Alcaraz might start in the number 10 position once again.

Beto might replace Thierno Barry in the line-up in the second potential change, after the French Under-21 international failed to record a single shot against Mikel Arteta’s side.

Dibling needs to make the most of his opportunity if he is handed it

Dibling has been out in the cold, waiting patiently to be brought into the team, and he needs to produce the goods if he is given the starting berth.

He has been trusted with cameo appearances in the last three matches, playing four minutes in the winover Nottingham Forest, six minutes in the loss to Chelsea, and then 15 minutes against the league leaders.

If he wants more time on the field, then he needs to contribute with flashy moments or actual contributions that make Moyes stand up and take notice.

Otherwise, he may well remain on the periphery.
