James Garner - Delivers five inaccurate crosses Garner registered five crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Chelsea.

Impact Garner did display volume up front but failed to find any teammates to make good on the chances provided. He made five crosses, none of which were accurate and took three corners. Nevertheless, the midfielder made eight defensive contributions and had 100 per cent long-ball accuracy. Likewise, seven line-breaking passes and four passes into the final third didn't result in anything meaningful either, due to inefficiency in the final third.

Jack Grealish - Delivers five crosses in defeat Grealish recorded one shot (one on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus Chelsea.

Impact Grealish remained involved in Everton's attack but struggled to make a difference with the Toffees being shut out by Chelsea. The winger managed only one accurate cross out of five and had one shot on goal. He also created a chance and made seven defensive contributions. He wasn't dispossessed even once, but he didn't make a single successful dribble either. Nevertheless, the Englishman will be hoping to turn things around against Arsenal this coming Saturday.

Vitaliy Mykolenko - Creates two chances in defeat Mykolenko had two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Chelsea.

Impact Mykolenko was one of Everton's most productive players up front as he provided a useful attacking outlet from left-back. The Ukrainian defender created two chances and made one accurate cross. He also had the most touches of any player in the game (81), with three of them in the opposition box. Furthermore, the left-back made one successful tackle and two clearances. Nevertheless, despite his efforts, the Toffees failed to find the back of the net against Chelsea.

James Tarkowski - Records three clearances in defeat Tarkowski generated one tackle (one won), three clearances and one interception in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus Chelsea. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 34th minute.

Impact Tarkowski helped Everton keep the visitors scoreless during the first half, but couldn't prevent an inevitable brace from Pedro Neto in the second. The defender contributed three clearances, one interception and a successful tackle. The English defender also made six defensive contributions and created a chance. Additionally, he won 83 per cent of his ground duels while managing to win 63 per cent of his aerial duels. Unfortunately, he picked up his first yellow card of the season and will have to be cautious from here on out.

Jarrad Branthwaite - Unable to prevent Chelsea defeat Branthwaite had one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Chelsea.

Impact Braithwaite denied Jordan Henderson in the first half with a block but was unable to prevent Chelsea's dominance in the second. The Toffees suffered their first Premier League defeat of the season as Pedro Neto scored a brace at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Nevertheless, Braithwaite did venture forward and tried to test the goalkeeper with a shot but failed to register it on target. With eight defensive contributions and only two tackles, it was a performance worth forgetting for the English center-back.

Jordan Pickford - Makes four saves in defeat Pickford recorded four saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Chelsea.

Impact Pickford kept Chelsea at bay during the first half as the English goalkeeper managed to keep a clean sheet in the first 45 minutes of the game. However, he fell prey to Pedro Neto just 44 seconds after the restart. Pickford came to Everton's rescue again later in the second half with a save against Joao Pedro but couldn't match Neto's effort for the second time, with the Portuguese winger completing a brace in the 90th minute. Pickford made four saves in total against the Blues and now has gone two games without a clean sheet.

Vitaliy Mykolenko - Finds starting role Mykolenko (knock) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Chelsea.

Impact Mykolenko reclaims his starting role after a knock sustained while representing Ukraine against Hungary forced him to miss Sunday's draw against Hull City. The left-back returned early from international duty and has improved sufficiently over the past week to start against Chelsea. His return restores a regular presence on the left side of Everton's defense and could reduce Michael Keane's involvement after he helped cover his absence.

Jarrad Branthwaite - Makes starting XI Branthwaite (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Chelsea.

Impact Branthwaite retains his starting role after recovering from the injury he picked up early in Everton's 2-2 draw against Hull City. The center-back has played every minute of his six Premier League appearances this season, recording 36 clearances, 11 interceptions, 11 blocks and six tackles. His availability provides an important boost to Everton's back line against Chelsea.

Impact Mykolenko is nearing a return after missing Sunday's draw against Hull City due to a knock sustained while representing Ukraine against Hungary during the international break. The left-back returned early from international duty but was unable to recover in time for the Hull matchup, forcing manager Moyes to adjust his defensive lineup and deploy Michael Keane in his absence. However, the defender's condition has improved considerably over the past week, giving him a realistic chance of returning against Chelsea. Mykolenko has been a regular presence on the left side of Everton's defense this season, and his potential return would provide Moyes with a boost ahead of Saturday's contest.

Impact Branthwaite appears to have picked up an injury early in Everton's 2-2 draw against Hull City, although he managed to complete the full 90 minutes. The center-back has been a consistent presence in Everton's defense this season, starting and playing every minute of his six Premier League appearances. He has recorded 36 clearances, 11 interceptions, 11 blocks and six tackles across those contestsl. His potential absence against Chelsea would represent a significant blow to the Toffees' back line, with his availability dependent on further assessments ahead of kickoff. Michael Keane could benefit from increased playing time if he misses out.

Christian Norgaard - Still short of starting fitness Norgaard is available for Saturday's Premier League clash against Chelsea but remains unlikely to start as he continues to rebuild his match fitness, according to coach David Moyes...

Impact Norgaard continues to make progress in his recovery from a groin injury that kept him sidelined for several weeks, although he remains some way from regaining full match fitness. The midfielder recently returned to team training and featured in a behind-closed-doors friendly before becoming available for Sunday's matchup against Hull City. However, coach Moyes has emphasized that Norgaard is not yet ready to handle a significant workload, suggesting another appearance off the bench is more likely against Chelsea. His minutes should gradually increase as he rebuilds his conditioning, but a return to the starting lineup appears premature at this stage. Norgaard nevertheless provides Everton with an additional option in central midfield as he works toward full fitness.

Impact Tarkowski delivered another commanding defensive performance, leading Everton's back line with 11 clearances while adding two interceptions, two tackles and two blocks. The Everton captain has been in excellent form this season, contributing one goal, one assist, 13 tackles, 16 interceptions and 34 clearances across six Premier League appearances. His leadership, consistent defensive contributions and attacking production have made him a key figure in Everton's starting lineup.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles - Assists in third straight start Maitland-Niles assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Hull City.

Impact Maitland-Niles made his third consecutive Premier League start and played 78 minutes, setting up Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's equalizer in the 55th minute with a well-placed cross. The versatile defender recovered from an earlier mistake that contributed to Hull's opening goal, making an important attacking contribution despite a mixed defensive performance. He has now registered one goal, one assist, five chances created, six tackles and nine clearances across four league appearances, including three starts. His recent run of starts and growing attacking involvement strengthen his case for retaining a regular role on the right side of Everton's defense.

Thierno Barry - Scores one goal against Hull Barry scored one goal to go with five shots (three on goal) in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Hull City.

Impact Barry played 86 minutes and put Everton ahead in the 68th minute with a powerful finish after collecting a pass from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. The striker attempted five shots, including three on target, extending his streak to five consecutive Premier League matches with at least three shots. He has now recorded three goals, 22 shots and five chances created across six league appearances this season. His consistent shooting volume and regular involvement in Everton's attack should continue to provide opportunities for further goal contributions.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - Scores and assists in draw Dewsbury-Hall scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and four chances created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Hull City.

Impact Dewsbury-Hall played the full 90 minutes and delivered an impressive attacking performance, heading home Ainsley Maitland-Niles' cross in the 55th minute before intercepting a pass to set up Thierno Barry's goal 13 minutes later. The midfielder also created four chances, took three corners and won two tackles, contributing at both ends of the pitch. He has now registered two goals, one assist and 15 chances created across six Premier League appearances this season. His consistent involvement in Everton's attacking play and set-piece situations should keep him among the team's most important creative options.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Merlin Rohl - Named among substitutes Rohl (undisclosed) is available off the bench for Sunday's Premier League clash against Hull City after recovering from a minor injury.

Impact Rohl returns to Everton's matchday squad after resuming training during the international break and overcoming the issue that had kept him sidelined. The German midfielder has impressed while operating in an unfamiliar right-back role this season, recording seven crosses, six clearances and five tackles across his previous three Premier League starts. Although he is not in the starting lineup against Hull City, he provides additional versatility and could challenge Ainsley Maitland-Niles for minutes on the right side of defense as he works his way back into regular action.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Christian Norgaard - Available off bench against Hull City Norgaard (groin) is available off the bench for Sunday's Premier League clash against Hull City after recovering from a groin injury.

Impact Norgaard returns to Everton's matchday squad after making progress in his recovery from a groin injury that had kept him sidelined for several weeks. The midfielder recently resumed team training and featured in a behind-closed-doors friendly, allowing him to regain some match fitness ahead of Sunday's encounter. However, he is unlikely to be ready for a significant workload and could be limited to a brief appearance off the bench. His return provides Everton with additional depth and experience in central midfield as he works toward full fitness.

Impact Mykolenko will miss Sunday's encounter after failing to recover in time from the knock he sustained during Ukraine's win over Hungary. The left-back had returned early from international duty and was considered questionable heading into the match, but the additional recovery time proved insufficient. Michael Keane replaces him in Everton's starting defense, while Mykolenko will aim to recover ahead of the next league fixture. His absence interrupts his regular involvement on the left side of Everton's backline.
