Game will be on FS+ at 3pm EST. Donovan looking to make his BPL return debut today. Likely to start as a sub.
Does regular FSOC ever show the replays once they've been on FSOC+? My listings for FSOC don't indicate a replay within the next few days but I'm wondering if this would be a special situation.
I wish they'd show this match on FSC rather than the Newcastle vs. some obscure team from Manchester....
Everton: Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Donovan, Heitinga, Neville, Osman, Stracqualarsi, Saha Subs: Mucha, Rodwell, Gueye, Bilyaletdinov, Cahill, Anichebe, McFadden Bolton: Bogdan, Steinsson, Knight, Cahill, Ricketts, M Davies, Muamba, Reo-Coker, Petrov, Ngog, Eagles Subs: Lynch, Wheater, Robinson, Tuncay, K Davies, Pratley, Klasnic
Probably the right midfielder, maybe the left midfielder. They have 2 strikers so probably not striker.
Osman and Donovan will play on the wings in the 4-4-2 with Saha and Strac up top. Osman has been playing on the right up till this point, however during Donovan's last stint Donovan took over on the right and Osman moved to the left. I figure they'll keep donovan on the right as it keeps him running at the backline in a more direct fashion instead of cutting in and playmaking like the slower [and also right-footed] osman is also capable of doing. Edit: Osman confirmed on the left by @YourEverton
Strange that people are so much more interested in Howard matching up vs. Bolton that vs. other teams.
