4-2-3-1 Everton Predicted Lineup Against Ipswich Town:
Defense:
Everton’s backline against Ipswich Town will likely be anchored by Pickford, whose sharp reflexes and leadership offer a dependable last line of defense. O’Brien brings youthful energy at right-back, while Keane’s experience pairs well with Branthwaite’s calm presence in the center. On the left, Mykolenko offers both defensive stability and a threat going forward. Altogether, this disciplined unit will aim to shut down Ipswich’s attack while helping Everton build from the back.
Midfield:
Garner and Gueye are expected to hold down the midfield in Everton’s 4-2-3-1 setup. Garner’s passing range and Gueye’s relentless ball-winning make them a strong pairing. Doucoure, operating ahead of them, adds drive and an eye for goal. Out wide, Harrison and Ndiaye bring speed and creativity, stretching the play and offering outlets. It’s a well-balanced midfield, combining steel and style to control the game and spark transitions.
Attack:
Leading the line, Broja provides strength and sharp finishing, posing a real challenge to Ipswich’s defenders. He will be supported by the wide runs of Harrison and the skillful dribbling of Ndiaye, keeping the opposition stretched. Doucoure’s ability to arrive late in the box adds another threat. The attack is built around pace, power, and movement, with Broja’s hold-up play key to linking up and creating chances for those around him.
