Who are Everton set to face as David Moyes arranges behind-closed-doors friendly

David Moyes is set to get his wish as Everton prepare to play a friendly during the international break.

The Toffees will be rueing the next three weeks as their unbeaten start to the campaign is put on hold.

They are yet to taste defeat in their opening seven outings across all competitions.

That most recently saw them secure all three points against Ipswich Town at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Various names will now depart Merseyside for their respective countries, while plenty of others will be left behind.

Everton are now moving to set up a friendly in the upcoming break, but who is set to travel to L3?

Championship side to take up Everton offer

There is a very limited squad available to Moyes after a frustrating transfer window.

That has been made clear by the Scot as he has never been shy to discuss it very publically.

He will be keen to get the best out of every player available to him, even those have been on the fringe so far.

That is why a friendly makes total sense for those not departing for the international break.

Alan Nixon reported via Patreon on Monday that Moyes wants to keep his players "ticking over" if they aren't away with their nation.

Blackburn Rovers are said to be setting up meeting with the Blues.

Tony Mowbray is happy to get involved, rather than just putting on training sessions for his squad.

A match is set to be played behind-closed-doors at Hill Dickinson Stadium, although a date hasn't been specified.

Who will play in Everton vs Blackburn Rovers?

There may be players departing for their respective countries in the coming days, but many first-team names will be left in L3.

Finch Farm will be without a senior keeper, leaving George Pickford to potentially get a chance against Blackburn.

If that goes ahead, the likes of Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Michael Keane and James Tarkowski will be ready to feature at the back.

Hayden Hackney, James Garner, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Charly Alcaraz will also be sticking around.

The same can be said for Jack Grealish and Thierno Barry who will all be sticking around.

Moyes will have a good mix of experience and youthful talet there, so it will make for an interesting encounter with Blackburn.
