Everton welcome Burnley to Goodison Park on Wednesday evening in the first home game since chairman Bill Kenwright’s passing last week.
Sean Dyche’s side won a tight one-goal victory against West Ham at the weekend which means they’ve now won four of their last six games in all competitions.
The Toffees will relish the thought of facing a Burnley side who have struggled for form since being promoted and they lost out to Bournemouth 2-1 at the weekend in another tough defeat.
Patterson needs more minutes to get back to full fitness and he should start here.
With Dyche focusing on moving Everton up the table and away from any relegation danger, a cup run may also help lift spirits and Burnley at home is another chance to add to their run and confidence after a strong performance against Aston Villa in the third round.
It will be a hard balancing act for Dyche as he won’t want to disrupt the chemistry and form of what has been mostly unc
Given that some players haven’t received minutes recently and some key players may need a rest, Dyche has some questions to answer regarding his squad, and LiverpoolWorld have tried to predict what his starting XI will be for the EFL Cup tie.
If anyone needs a rest it’s Tarkowski, but he will want to play on what is likely to be an emotional night at Goodison. He can also be brought off after 60/70 minutes if the game is in safe hands.
Branthwaite has been in great form and could use a break but he’s young and able to continue here. Again, he could be replaced late by either Keane or Godfrey.
Mykolenko has started the last six in the league after returning from injury and could be given a night off with Young able to deputise after being sent off against Liverpool.
The 34-year-old has recently recovered from injury and could be given a chance to get back into the fray here. Alongside two willing runners in good form, it makes sense for him to start.
In an ideal world, Onana would be given a rest but he’s young and in great form and needs to play if Gueye is to receive minutes.
With a lack of midfield options with Garner likely to feature out wide, Doucoure will have to start again as neither Andre Gomes or Dele Alli will be available.
With Jack Harrison now a key figure on the right, he should be rested given he came back from a long-term injury not too long ago. Garner can fit in there and give Dyche a consistent performer, albeit out of position.
The summer signing has also found opportunities hard to come by, but this stands as the perfect chance to give McNeil a rest and allow Danjuma to stake a claim.
The summer signing was involved early on this season but has had to wait his turn after Calvert-Lewin’s resurgence. He should gain some minutes here. (Photo: Simon Bellis)
Back in October I cautiously suggested that the tide was turning in the battle for the Black Sea and that Russia, hit repeatedly by innovative and daring attacks, was then withdrawing ships ever further east in an uncoordinated and undignified manner.
With the Ukraine conflict languishing in stalemate, the possibility that Russian president Vladimir Putin might yet emerge victorious from his ill-judged invasion cannot be ignored, with all the implications such an outcome would have for Europe’s security.
Dozens of Palestinian men captured by the Israeli military were stripped to their underwear and paraded around a central square in Gaza where Hamas fighters used to hold rallies.

For the second time, the State of Qatar has negotiated the repatriation of Ukrainian children deported to Russia. The country has become the go-to mediator in hostage crises too, having played a key role in brokering a deal between Israel and Hamas. But can Qatar also succeed, where others have failed, to help return thousands of Ukrainian hostages imprisoned in Russia?
