In four matches in charge of Everton so far, manager Sean Dyche has made just one enforced change to his starting line-ups but with back-to-back away games at Arsenal and Nottingham Forest over the space of five days, could the Blues boss be tempted to shuffle his pack at the Emirates?
Captain Seamus Coleman has been in fine form under the new gaffer – netting a spectacular winning goal from a tight angle against Leeds United – but with Nathan Patterson working his way back to fitness, the Irish international, who turns 35 in October, might make way at some point in what is a busy week.
Patterson hasn’t featured in the first team since the 4-1 home defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion back on January 3 but started the Under-21s 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur in Southport a week last Friday.
