Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison and Alex Iwobi form the front three.

Attack:

Right winger: Alex Iwobi

Another player going through a rich run of form, Iwobi has been successful in changing the public opinion and winning support from fans who once deemed him as a failure at Everton. His runs down the right flank help Everton create space as he attracts defenders towards him and likes to dribble past them. A lot has been said about the shortcomings of Manchester United defence and Iwobi would be the kind of player who can exploit the weaknesses.

Striker: Dominic Calvert-Lewin

The biggest dilemma for Ancelotti will be to whether to start DCL and Richarlison or not. But given the magnitude of the game and a chance to book a semi-final spot, the Italian will go ahead with Calvert-Lewin. If things go as planned and the Toffees are in a strong position, the Englishman may be given rest for Cenk Tosun but starting the game is important.

Left wing: Richarlison

Richarlison can be decisive in such games and starting him is mandatory. His duel with Aaron Wan-Bissaka will be the one to watch for in the game. The Brazilian has not been in the best of his form but is doing a brilliant job overall, being a team player and contributing in any way possible.

Richarlison has that enigma that helps Everton build play around him before laying it to goal poacher Calvert-Lewin. The Brazilian has a good track record in the EFL Cup and will hope to add more goals to his 3 goal tally.
