Everton’s season has been a whirlwind but they find themselves in a strong position following their last four games before the international break.
With a nearly fully fit squad to choose from and new signings starting to gel, there is hope for their next set of fixtures.
There are some tough encounters on the horizon but hope is renewed after that brilliant three-goal victory before the break.
We’ve decided to look at their next eight fixtures in all competitions and predict the outcome of those games.
1. Liverpool (A) - 21st October 12:30pm
The Merseyside derby is up next for Dyche’s men which could be difficult given Liverpool’s home record this season. But Everton head there with confidence and have nothing to lose which should see a close, hard-fought game. Prediction: 2-1 defeat.
2. West Ham (A) - 29th October
The Hammers have been in brilliant form and have been strong at home. Everton will have to be at their best to get anything from the game. They can hope to catch them off guard as they travel to Olympiakos just days before. Prediction: 1-1 draw.
3. Burnley (H) - 1st November
Having beaten Villa in the previous round, they should be confident of beating a struggling Burnley side at home. A cup run may not be a priority but they should come through this. Prediction: 2-0 win.
4. Brighton (H) - 4th November
Roberto De Zerbi’s side have been inconsistent but are still a menacing side to face. Prediction: 2-1 defeat.
