Impact Doucoure scored his first goal of the season after Wes Foderingham saved his initial shot, but the rebound came right back to him, allowing him to open the scoring.

Jordan Pickford - Scores own goal in draw Pickford registered six saves and allowed two goals, but also 1 an own goal in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Sheffield United.
Impact Pickford allowed two goals, one of which was an own goal by him. In that instance, he was unlucky as he dove for a ball that hit the post and then deflected off his back into the net. Aside from the goals allowed, he achieved a new-season high in saves. Next, the goalkeeper will face off against Arsenal, a team that has scored five goals in three games this season.

Vitaliy Mykolenko - Available versus Sheffield United Mykolenko (leg) is a bench option for Saturday's game versus Sheffield United.
Impact Mykolenko limped off in the past game due to a knock but managed to recover enough to be available. He'll deputize Ashley Young, who's getting the start.
SEPTEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Keane - Unavailable against Sheffield United Keane is missing from Everton's game-day squad list to face Sheffield United Saturday.
Impact Keane started the first two contests of the season but dropped to the bench in the most recent one. He's out this week due to an undisclosed injury. Jarrad Branthwaite and James Tarkowski are starting in the back.
SEPTEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Lewis Norman Dobbin - Ruled out Saturday Dobbin (undisclosed) is absent for Saturday's clash with Sheffield United.
Impact Dobbin played in all three matches to start the season, starting once, but he picked out an unspecified injury during the week and won't be an option for this one. Arnaut Danjuma is starting on the left flank.
SEPTEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dwight McNeil - Fit for Sheffield United game McNeil (ankle) made Everton's game-day squad list to face Sheffield United Saturday.
Impact McNeil is available to make his seasonal debut after missing the previous matches due to an ankle injury as anticipated by his coach, but he'll be eased into action considering the time off.

Everton already destined for another tough season after lackluster start to EPL
Everton already seems destined for another season of struggleAUGUST 31, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Vitaliy Mykolenko - Expected to miss out Saturday Mykolenko, who was forced off against Doncaster on Wednesday, is expected to be unavailable for Saturday's clash with Sheffield United.
Impact It's a tough blow for Mykolenko who dealt with an injury during the preseason and was making his first appearance of the 2023-24 campaign in the Carabao Cup clash with Doncaster. With Mykolenko again shelved due to his apparent leg injury, Ashley Young figures to remain in the starting XI.

Dele Alli - Begins running on grass Alli (hip) has stepped up his recovery, including beginning work on grass with manager Sean Dyche telling reporters Thursday, "Dele is getting back on the grass, slowly but surely....
Impact Alli wasn't expected back before the international break, at minimum, but could be nearing a return to full fitness shortly thereafter. Once given the all-clear, several potential midfield departures, including Alex Iwobi (hamstring) and Demari Gray, could open up a spot in the squad for Alli to get a run with the club, though he likely will be held in reserve as a bench option.

Jack Harrison - Yet to resume full training Harrison (hip) is not back training with the full squad but continues to make improvements after manager Sean Dyche told reporters Thursday, "Jack is not quite training with us yet...
Impact Harrison was not expected to be fit immediately upon joining the club and likely will benefit from the international break. If the team does part ways with Alex Iwobi (hamstring) and Demari Gray, Harrison would likely become a mainstay in the starting XI, even with the return of Dwight McNeil (ankle).
AUGUST 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dwight McNeil - In contention versus Sheffield United McNeil (ankle) has resumed training with the squad and could be available against Sheffield United on Saturday. Manager Sean Dyche told reporters, "Dwight McNeil was back with our...
Impact McNeil's return to the squad would certainly provide a boost, especially with Alex Iwobi (hamstring) and Jack Harrison (hip) both dealing with injuries. Once cleared to play and up to full match fitness, McNeil should be a near-lock to reclaim his spot on the left of the midfielder after starting all 18 matches to close out the previous campaign.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - In doubt Saturday Calvert-Lewin (face) won't require surgery but remains a doubt ahead of Saturday's matchup with Sheffield United. Manager Sean Dyche told reporters, "He doesn't need an operation....
Impact Calvert-Lewin should at minimum be available coming out of the international break against Arsenal on Sept. 16. Even once cleared to play, the forward could suddenly find himself being pressed for minutes from new addition Beto, who scored in his debut for the club versus Doncaster on Wednesday. Still, Calvert-Lewin figures to be the preferred option up top at least for now.

Chelsea and Everton survive scares in English League Cup. Newcastle to play Man City in third round
Chelsea and Everton have survived major scares against fourth-tier opponents to advance to the third round of the English League CupAUGUST 30, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Vitaliy Mykolenko - Starts in Cup win Mykolenko got the start and created one chance before coming off with a knock during Wednesday's 2-1 win over Doncaster.
Impact Mykolenko made his first start of 2022-23 in the EFL Cup against Doncaster Rovers. The knock the left-back suffered didn't appear to be serious, though if it limits his availability for a Saturday trip to Sheffield it would likely be Ashley Young to get the start at left-back once more.
AUGUST 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Beto - Scores in Toffees debut Beto scored a goal on four shots (one on target) in his debut for Everton against Doncaster Rovers on Wednesday.
Impact Beto scored the first goal of the Everton season despite coming on at half time and playing in his first game for the club. With Dominic Calvert-Lewin (face) still in doubt ahead of Saturday's matchup with Sheffield United, Beto could be pressed into service up top for the Toffees.
AUGUST 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Beto - Completes Everton move Beto has completed a move to Everton from Udinese and signed a four-year contract with the club.
Impact Beto makes the move to the Premier League after the rumors were growing stronger in the past week. He's a big target for Everton, someone they'll likely use behind Dominic Calvert-Lewin, if not alongside late in matches. Beto bagged 10 goals in 33 appearances last season and 11 in the prior one, and figures to replace Neal Maupay as the team's backup striker.

Jordan Pickford - Allows late goal versus Wolves Pickford made two saves and conceded one goal during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Wolverhampton.
Impact Pickford was solid, made a couple of nice interventions and being on verge of keeping his first clean sheet of the season. But then everything changed the 87th minute, when Sasa Kalajdzic appeared in the middle of the defenders to head home a cross from the right and score the game-winner for the opposition. With six saves and six goals conceded over the first three matches of the season, Pickford will try to bounce back during next Saturday's visit to Sheffield United.

Abdoulaye Doucoure - Makes six tackles versus Wolves Doucoure had one shot on goal, created one chance, made six tackles (three won) and drew two fouls during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Wolves.
Impact Doucoure was frustrated by Wolves' goalkeeper Jose Sa, who miraculously prevented his header from finding the back of the net in the second half and also had a goal disallowed due to an offside earlier in the play. On the other hand, the midfielder displayed a lot of tenacity, leading all players with six tackles and being one of the few bright spots for the Toffees.
