Everton travel to Deepdale on Wednesday full of confidence after a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace ended a four-year run of losing their opening Premier League fixture of the season.It is a personally significant fixture for David Moyes, who began his managerial career at Preston North End before later taking charge of Everton, and has faced this exact pairing before on both sides of the touchline.Everton team newsTim Iroegbunam faces several weeks on the sidelined with an adductor strain, and summer signing Christian Norgaard is not yet fully fit and will miss the trip north. James Garner made a surprise return from the bench against Palace following a hernia operation over the summer, though it remains to be seen whether he is ready to start.Mark Travers, Jake O’Brien, Michael Keane, Charly Alcaraz, Brennan Johnson, Tyler Dibling and Beto all began last weekend’s win as substitutes and will be hoping to force their way into the starting lineup here.Moyes is expected to make wholesale changes from the side that beat Palace, with Travers coming into goal and a back four of Nathan Patterson, O’Brien, Keane and Vitaliy Mykolenko.Tim Iroegbunam’s absence opens a route into midfield for Charly Alcaraz alongside Jack Hackney and Stuart Armstrong, while Dibling and Johnson look likely to provide width in support of Beto up front.The changes reflect a squad Moyes has strengthened significantly in depth, giving him room to rotate heavily without expecting a major drop in quality against Championship opposition.Everton predicted lineupEverton possible starting XI (4-2-3-1): Travers; Patterson, O’Brien, Keane, Mykolenko; Hackney, Armstrong; Dibling, Alcaraz, Johnson; BetoWhen will the match kick off?The Carabao Cup match kicks off at 20:00 on Wednesday, 26 August 2026.How to watch Preston North End vs Everton?The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Ultra HDR in the UK.Read more – Arsenal reach agreement with Al-Hilal on Martinelli feeSee also – Nottingham Forest closing in on agreement with Chelsea for Liam Delap dealFollow the Football Faithful on Social Media:Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube | TikTokThe post Everton XI vs Preston North End – Predicted lineup and team news appeared first on The Football Faithful.
