Woolfenden and Burgess Return For Town Against Everton Saturday, 19th Oct 2024 14:29 Town make two changes for this afternoon’s home game against Everton with Luke Woolfenden and Cameron Burgess coming into the side for Jacob Greaves and Ben Johnson. Both Greaves and Johnson are absent from the matchday 20 with the central defender understood to have picked up a knock. Dara O’Shea, who was subbed with a back problem while playing for the Republic of Ireland in midweek, is OK to start and moves to right-back with Woolfenden, making his 200th appearance for the club, and Burgess, making his Premier League debut, renewing their central defensive partnership with Leif Davis at left-back. Former Toffees youngster Nathan Broadhead is in the Town matchday squad for the first time this season having come on as a sub for Wales in midweek. Everton make two changes from the team which drew 0-0 at home to Newcastle before the international break. Left-back Vitaliy Mykolenko returns from a knock and replaces James Garner, who has a back problem, with Ashley Young set to move to right-back. In midfield, Idrissa Gueye comes in for Orel Mangala, who drops to the bench. England centre-half Jarrad Branthwaite remains absent due to a thigh injury with Michael Keane, brother of former Blues striker Will, starting in his place. Ex-Town loan keeper Asmir Begovic is one of two keepers on the Toffees bench. Town: Muric, O’Shea, Woolfenden, Burgess, Davis, Morsy (c), Phillips, Burns, Hutchinson, J Clarke, Delap.
