Wayne Rooney produced a “one of a kind display” as Everton hammered West Ham United 4-0 in the last match. Rooney scored a sublime hat-trick against the Hammers as the Toffees recovered brilliantly from their 4-1 thrashing at the hand of Southampton.
New boss Sam Allardyce was in the stands at the Goodison Park and will lead his team when they host Huddersfield Town next. The Terriers are on a three-match losing streak and will be looking to muster their first win.
Huddersfield are currently in 14h place and any hiccups in this match would bring them closer to the relegation zone. David Wagner needs to stop the shipping of goals as they have conceded a staggering 24 goals so far.
Everton will be out in the field to maintain their perfect home record against the Terriers. The Toffees are unbeaten at home since 1937 and will be hoping to kep the record intact.
Predicted 3-4-2-1 Huddersfield Town starting Lineup against Everton
Defence
11 goals in the last three matches would be pretty hard to digest but Wagner would be trying to improve his side’s defensive performance. Jonas Lossl will be hoping for a good performance against the Merseyside club.
Three man backline has been rage this season and Wagner is likely to take the advantage of this. Zanka, Christopher Schindler and Martin Cranie will have the responsibility to shut down the Everton attack.
Midfield
Jonathan Hogg has been pretty good in his breaking up play but this Everton side have a number of genuine coveted players who can turn the tide any day and Hogg needs to sit pretty tight in the middle of the centre.
Aaron Mooy has been good but only in patches so he needs to take an extra responsibility in this match.
Chris Lowe will be in the left wingback position while Florent Hadergjonaj will inject some pace from the right wingback position.
Attack
Wagner made some changes in the lineup against Arsenal but he is expected to make some tough decisions in this match too. Tom Ince is set to return after missing the last match.
Ince will be alongside Elias Kachunga as the duo will be just behind the main striker to take the attack. Kachunga is yet to make some influence and the stage is set for him to take the advantage as Everton have the worst defence so far.
Laurent Depoitre will be gunning for a place in the starting lineup.
