Fleetwood vs Everton – On Tuesday, Fleetwood Town will host Everton in the second round of the EFL Cup.
Two seasons ago, these teams faced battle in the third round of this competition,
With the Toffees coming out on top 5-2. The former Celtic midfielder has taken six points from five games while defeating Championship team Wigan Athletic to set up an enticing second-round matchup against Everton.
This comes after a fruitful year spent as Aberdeen’s assistant manager. The Cod Army certainly appear to be more difficult to defeat than they did last season, when they allowed a staggering 82 goals in 46 games.
Indeed, Brown’s priorities have been evident, at least in the early stages of his employment, as evidenced by the two consecutive 0-0 draws going into Tuesday’s cup match.
A cup run is also unlikely to be high on the agenda for a squad that many predicted would struggle this season, but anytime a Premier League team comes to town,
Neither the manager nor the players want to let the opportunity pass without giving it their all. Everton, of course, only managed to maintain their perennial Premier League status with one game remaining last year,
Following a turbulent campaign under managers Rafael Benitez and Frank Lampard. After Brennan Johnson opened the scoring for Nottingham Forest at Goodison Park on Saturday in the 81st minute,
The former England midfielder could have anticipated the worse as the Toffees looked at three league losses to start the season. But with just two minutes left, Demarai Gray saved his coach’s face by perhaps launching his team’s season.
But with Dominic Calvert-Lewin sidelined once more due to injury, Lampard will undoubtedly make an effort to entice a striker of a higher caliber than what he currently has available.
Fleetwood vs Everton – Betting Analysis
Everton fans will want their manager to field a good team at Fleetwood on Tuesday, but Premier League survival is his top goal this season.
Everton hasn’t won a trophy since 1995. Darnell Johnson, a central defender who is still recovering from an Achilles tendon tear, won’t be available for Fleetwood.
Brown is unlikely to make many changes from the weekend’s respectable draw against Derby County because he fielded a very good team in the previous round’s triumph over Wigan.
After sitting on the bench on Saturday, Joe Garner, Cian Hayes, and Carl Johnston will all attempt to into the attack; however, Hayes is possibly more likely to succeed.
Calvert-Lewin (knee), Yerry Mina (ankle), and Abdoulaye Doucoure (muscle), who are all expected to miss at least a few weeks of first-team activity, will not be traveling for Everton.
Long-term absences include Ben Godfrey (fibula fracture) and Andros Townsend (ACL), but Andre Gomes might rejoin the team following a recent injury.
Seamus Coleman is scheduled to captain the team after losing his spot to Nathan Patterson in the early weeks of the season, thus Lampard will almost probably shake things up more than his opponent.
With Michael Keane, Dwight McNeil, Dele Alli, and Ruben Vinagre all receiving critical match fitness, Allan could partner Amadou Onana in the middle of the field.
It is difficult to imagine too many goals being scored at Highbury Stadium on Tuesday because both teams have played defensively-minded football in the early stages of the season.
The Toffees should be able to hold their League One opponents at arm’s length and barely get to the next round despite the likelihood of multiple changes.
