Team news and possible lineups
Everton team news
Pre-match reports list Christian Nørgaard as unavailable with a groin problem, while Merlin Röhl has been a fitness concern. Jordan Pickford, James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite give Moyes an established defensive core; Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Jack Grealish and Thierno Barry are among his attacking options. Those names describe the squad picture, not an officially confirmed starting XI.
Ipswich Town team news
Jack Taylor has been sidelined by a knee problem, with Emersonn and Azor Matusiwa also mentioned in pre-match fitness reports. Ipswich can draw on Julio Enciso, Leif Davis and Zian Flemming, whose late goal secured the 3-2 win at Crystal Palace. The final matchday squad and formation depend on the clubs’ confirmed team sheets.
