Lloris
Walker - CCV - Alderweireld - Rose
Dier - Wanyama
Lamela - Alli - Eriksen
Kane
Wimmer and Jan havent played a minute in preseason and are returning from injuries. It would be a massive risk to start either of them. Dier is too good in midfield. That leaves CCV and, honestly, I think he's played well and deserves an opportunity. Rest of the team picks itself really, if it was at home then perhaps Janssen would start with Kane, they looked like they could certainly play together in the league on their brief appearance together today.
Lloris
Walker Alderweireld Vertonghen Rose
Dier Winks
Lamela Alli Eriksen
Kane
Vorm, Trippier, Wimmer, Wanyama, Onomah, Edwards, Janssen
Poch had expressed confidence that Jan might be fit for the first game before the first match in Australia so I put him in the XI. If he's not fit, then Wimmer. If neither are fit then CCV starts.
Since Mason, Chadli and Carroll are up for sale, Im not putting them in the 18 for now. If Onomah is not fit, then put Mason in for him.
Got to be:
Lloris
Walker
Toby
Jan/Kev/CCV
Rose
Wanyama
Dier
Lamela
Alli
Eriksen
Kane
If Wanyama can't make the team when one of our first choice CM's is out I'm sure he'd be questioning it, and rightly so.
Goodison is a tough place to go anyway so off the ball we'll need to be right at it, and disciplined. They're a pretty physical side anyway.
