Tyrique George

Merlin Röhl started for Everton ahead of Tyrique George, Brennan Johnson and Tyler Dibling to face Chelsea's Pep Chavarría, but David Moyes said "when we got here he wasn't playing". Röhl did better at right back, he said. Moyes hadn't seen Emiliano Martínez's injury.

Tyrique George could displace Jack Grealish on the left, David Moyes said: "Absolutely. I think Tyrique's knocking on the door." The Everton manager added George can probably play on either flank, so his way into the starting XI need not run only through Grealish.
