da roleta： Everton welcome Manchester City to Goodison Park on Wednesday with the Toffees on the brink of disaster, so what can they do to change their fortunes?
On the chalkboard
Everton put in perhaps their most lifeless performance of the season thus far on Saturday, watching on as Wolves rocked up to Goodison and made it their own.
Marco Silva’s side were second to every ball and looked to have absolutely no fight or desire in the 3-1 defeat, but the visit of the champions offers the perfect opportunity to bounce back.
After just one win in six Premier League homes games, the Toffees need to get the crowd on side immediately on Wednesday night, and the best way to do that is to threaten what is quite frankly a vulnerable Manchester City side with pace on the break.

New role for Walcott?
Theo Walcott has become a figure of frustration since his move to Goodison, as the Englishman hasn’t had anywhere near the impact that Richarlison has brought on the opposite flank. In fact, you’d be hard pushed to call his move to Merseyside anything other than a huge flop.
Still, the lack of quality options up front should make Walcott an option to play through the middle, as his pace and movement in behind will cause the Cityzens a lot of trouble, and he has experience in that spot for Arsenal.
Pep Guardiola’s side spent most of their win against Arsenal with just three at the back as makeshift centre back Fernandinho continually pushed into midfield, and this means Silva can get his paciest players – Walcott, Richarlison and Ademola Lookman – isolated three on three.
Walcott is not exactly a prolific goalscorer, but there aren’t many 29 year-olds who can boast 71 Premier League goals and 48 assists, and if he can get behind Guardiola’s centre backs it will get the crowd on their feet right from the off.
Boost for Lookman?
This could also provide a boost for Lookman, who could well be left one-on-one with Aymeric Laporte, a natural centre back currently filling in at left back.
The 21 year-old has shown glimpses of his obvious potential this season, but Wednesday presents the prefect chance to have his first big breakout display if Walcott can leave him one-on-one with the Frenchman.
So, Everton fans, would you like to see a pacey front three with Walcott leading the line? Let us know your thoughts in the comments down below…
