Everton host Ipswich Town at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday, September 19 (10:00 AM ET / 9:00 AM CT / 7:00 AM PT).
Everton go into this one without the sidelined Christian Norgaard, with the doubtful Merlin Rohl also touch-and-go. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall remains the creative focal point, having created 9 chances from 12 shots and scored 1 goal in his opening matches, while Thierno Barry has racked up 14 shots and a goal of his own up front. James Tarkowski offers a threat from set pieces too, having scored once already this season. Ipswich Town are missing the injured Jack Taylor, and the doubtful Azor Matusiwa (thigh) may also be unavailable. Leif Davis and Emersonn have each scored twice for the visitors. Julio Enciso has created 5 chances from 14 shots in midfield.
This looks a tight, low-scoring afternoon at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Everton have not lost in their last 3 matches, drawing with Manchester United and Bournemouth either side of a win over Crystal Palace, and that defensive resolve should be enough to see off an Ipswich side short on confidence after back-to-back defeats. The visitors have shown they can score, with Davis and Emersonn both among the goals, but keeping Everton out at home looks a different task altogether, and a narrow margin ought to separate the two sides.
