Everton will return to Premier League action this weekend as they welcome Ipswich Town to Goodison Park on Saturday.
The Toffees will be looking to bounce back after losing back-to-back defeats for the first time since David Moyes returned to the club.
Match Preview
Everton’s terrible record at Stamford Bridge continued last weekend, with Nicolas Jackson scoring a decisive 27th-minute goal to seal a crucial victory for Chelsea.
Moyes’ men improved after half-time and pushed for an equaliser, but the Blues held out to ensure the visitors returned empty handed.
The result means the Toffees have won just one of their previous nine Premier League matches.
They have been solid in defence but scoring goals has been their biggest problem this season. Everton transfer news suggest they will be in the market for a striker this summer to fix that issue.
Moyes deserves a lot of credit for guiding his side to top-flight survival after taking charge in January, but their recent performances have been anything but encouraging.
They will look to return to winning ways at the expense of Ipswich, who have been officially relegated to the Championship.
The Tractor Boys’ fate was sealed last Saturday by a dominant Newcastle United side, who cruised to a 3-0 win after Ben Johnson got sent off in the first-half.
Team News
Everton defender James Tarkowski has been ruled out for the rest of the season after sustaining a knock against Manchester City last month. But Dominic Calvert-Lewin has returned to full training after a long absence.
As for Ipswich, they could be without as many as 11 players for Saturday’s away clash. Nathan Broadhead, Conor Townsend, Axel Tuanzebe, Kalvin Philips, Jaden Philogene, Wes Burns and Sammie Szmodics are all set to miss due to fitness issues.
