Fleetwood or draw
If Everton's start to the season has proven anything it's that they lack strength in depth in some key areas; that's been a big part of their problem in getting three points on board in the Premier League. Given Frank Lampard is likely to make a couple of changes, we think they could let Fleetwood in for a potential shock. Fleetwood Town haven't lost since the opening day of the season with two wins and three draws to their name. Notably, they are defensively solid and breaking down those backlines is Everton's biggest problem.
Under 2.5 goals is a banker, isn't it?
Now we turn our attention to the total goals market and we are backing under 2.5 goals. Fleetwood have drawn each of their last two games 0-0 and have seen each of their last four go south of the 2.5 goal mark. Everton meanwhile have seen two of their last three games go south of the same cut off. With Fleetwood likely to ‘bank in' a game loaded with goals feels unlikely.

Will Fleetwood pour pressure on Frank Lampard?
Fleetwood are not an easy side to play against on any day and with their underdog tag it's highly likely they sit back to frustrate Everton. Will Everton, who have been lacklustre in front of goal, be able to find a way through. Anything but an Everton win though will have Frank Lampard under growing pressure!
Fleetwood haven't been flying down in League One but they're not getting battered each week either and they'll be confident of making things tough for Everton here. Not only are they much unfancied but they're at home and, with both clubs located in the North West there is a little bit of extra spice to this game; all of this favours the hosts.
Fleetwood Town Predicted lineup – Lynch, Rooney, Earl, Nsiala, Andrew, Vela, Wiredu, Batty, Macadam, Garner, Omochere
Everton were in a relegation battle last season and this season hasn't started with much positivity around the place either. Whilst survival in the top flight will obviously be the Toffees' main focus for the season, a cup run wouldn't go amiss. A game against Fleetwood should be something they can navigate; will Lampard be brave enough to make mass changes to his XI?
Everton Predicted lineup – Begovic, Coleman, Keane, Coady, Welch, Nkounkou, Davies, Jagne, Gray, Townsend, Rondon
