The early change arose out of Townsend getting injured. I know a couple of people who watched from the home stand. Nobody doubted that Palace deserved the win, but the scoreline may have flattered them a bit, in that Everton were actually quite strong in attack, at least in parts of the game.
Obviously, though, their defence is having a poor season, as a unit, and it may be that, despite having spent so much recently, our visitors need to re-build that area of their team.
I assume that we will deploy a back 4, here, meaning Johnson and Cress as FBs alongside the standard Dawson-Zouma partnership. Can't see much chance of any change in the next area of the team, but imagine that Moyes will make the call regarding the 3 ahead of them after watching us train. One tiny thing I noticed this week is that, despite sterling recent performances, including against Sevilla, neither Manu nor Fornals got called up for their international teams. So, they'd have had a rest, fine, but also perhaps some time to mull over why they'd not made the grade. Hopefully that will translate into some committed performances in the last chapter of this season.
Anyone know about Bowen and his likely return? Would love to see him play against Everton, given their defensive woes, but we might be able to cope without him, here, if he needs more time.
