Everton-Leicester City, the probable formations

On Saturday, Feb. 1 at 4 p.m. in the Premier League, David Moyes’s Everton, back in charge of the Toffees to lift the team and center salvation, hosts Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Leicester City. Both sides are looking for a turnaround’to move away from the relegation zone and avert the risk of slipping to the Championship, making the challenge at Goodison Park a real direct clash for staying in the top flight.

Moyes will have to deal with numerous absences, including Broja, Iroegbunam, McNeil, Chermiti, Coleman, Mangala and Calvert-Lewin, all of whom are unavailable through injury. In attack, despite market rumors, there will be; Beto as center forward, with Ndiaye, Doucoure and Lindstrom as trequartists.

Van Nistelrooy, on the other hand, will have to deal with several absences, having to do without the injured Fatawu, Hermansen, Ndidi and Pereira. In the offensive phase, therefore, trust Vardy as the only forward. Behind the Englishman will act Cordova-Reid, El Khannous and Soumare.

Probable lineups

Everton (4-2-3-1): Pickford; O'Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Garner, Gueye; Lindstrom, Doucoure, Ndiaye; Beto. Coach: Moyes.

Leicester City (4-2-3-1): Stolarczyk; Justin, Faes, Vestergaard, Kristiansen; Winks, Soumare; Ayew, El Khannous, Cordova-Reid; Vardy. Coach: van Nistelrooy.
