Everton will entertain Boreham Wood at Goodison Park on Thursday night as they look to secure a positive result and progress into the next round of the FA Cup. The Toffees suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester City last weekend, so they will be desperate to bounce back by putting in a good performance in midweek.
Frank Lampard could opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to name a strong team for this game. We can expect Salomon Rondon to lead the line for the Merseyside club up top.
4-2-3-1 Everton Predicted Lineup To Face Boreham Wood
Defence
Jordan Pickford will operate in between the sticks for the Toffees after shipping in one goal in his last league outing. Mason Holgate could get the nod to play along with Jarrod Branthwaite at the centre of Everton’s backline as they look to stop Boreham from scoring during the 90 minutes.
Nathan Patterson will function at right-back while Vitaliy Mykolenko fills in on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will be eager to get forward and join in on the attack so that they can offer enough support to the front players.
Seamus Coleman will provide cover for the right-back position on Lampard’s bench.

Midfield
Andre Gomes will anchor the midfield alongside Abdoulaye Doucoure as they hope to dominate possession at the centre of the park. The talented trio of Alex Iwobi, Demarai Gray and Andros Townsend will play just ahead of them as part of Everton’s attack.
Anwar El Ghazi and Dele Alli will have to settle for a spot on the bench as they wait for their chance to shine in the second half if needed.
This game might come too soon for Donny van de Beek who is currently recovering from a thigh injury.
Attack
Salomon Rondon will spearhead Lampard’s attack up top. He will have to carry most of the goal-scoring workload for Everton in the final third.
Richarlison will have to be content with a place on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the latter stages if the Toffees are in need of a goal by then.
