Everton predicted starting line-up vs Blackpool - with 19 y/o handed a deserved start

Everton take on Blackpool after suffering defeats to Arsenal and Minnesota United in pre-season.

Everton are looking to bounce back in pre-season when they travel to Blackpool this afternoon (15.0 BST).

The Toffees have now returned from their tour of America - although it did not end as they’d have hoped.

Frank Lampard’s side suffered a shock 4-0 defeat to Minnesota United earlier this week.

It was a performance that left the Everton boss frustrated and admitted his players had a lot to think about on the journey home.

With less than two weeks away from the Premier League season beginning, Lampard knows that Everton need major improvements.

They face a Blackpool side who finished a creditable 16th in the Championship last season after promotion.

Indeed, it’ll be interesting what sort of team Lampard fields at Bloomfield Road.

Here’s how we think Everton will line-up.
