Alex Iwobi has been very consistent and hard working.

Attack:

Right wing: Alex Iwobi

One of the most alluring players to watch in recent times, Alex Iwobi too has turned it around since his switch to a wing back and then a right winger in a 4-2-3-1. The faith being shown by Ancelotti is finally being repaid and Iwobi is doing it with some style. I have become a fan of his work rate and some moments of attacking brilliance he can produce on the ball.

Striker: Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has now taken a bit of a secondary role as others around him are excelling. The switch to a 4-2-3-1 has seen him retreat a little from a very forward line with the Englishman involving himself a lot more in the buildup of the play. He will be itching to get back to the score sheet and to do it wouldn’t be bad to do it against Manchester City.

Next. Everton could present an offer for 30 year old Serie A star in January. dark

Left wing: Richarlison

Richarlison will return to the lineup after missing the last game as a consequence to a horrific clash between him and Eric Bailly in the EFL quarter finals. The Italian boss has said that Richarlison is fine and available. Anthony Gordon did a good job and offered proper intensity and presence in the Brazilian’s absence but with Richarlison returning, I don’t expect Gordon to get another go.
