Everton host Ipswich Town at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday in a matchup where David Moyes’ side should look to impose themselves physically and attack with greater width.
Jack Grealish can give Everton creativity from the left, while Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s movement through midfield can create opportunities around Ipswich’s penalty area.
Gary O’Neil’s Ipswich can threaten through quick transitions, particularly with Abdul Fatawu and Daizen Maeda attacking wide spaces and Julio Enciso operating centrally.
Everton must avoid leaving space behind their full-backs, but their physicality and ability to sustain pressure should give them the tactical advantage at home.
