Will we see a return to 3 Centre halves? Keane or Coleman making the 3rd CB. Allowing Coleman to be released from attacking duties. Maybe Davies slotting in on the right side of midfield? Is Davies going to get a place now?

Everton defender Nathan Patterson is expected to be out for around four to five weeks with an ankle injury.
The 20-year-old Blues right-back was forced off while on international duty during Scotland’s Nations League win over Ukraine at Hampden Park last Wednesday.
Following a consultation with a specialist in London, Patterson will now undergo treatment under the care of Everton’s medical team at Finch Farm.

Jordan Pickford is available for Everton's weekend visit to Southampton, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin could also be in contention.
Pickford missed the Toffees' win over West Ham United with a thigh complaint, but has made a full recovery during the international break.
Calvert-Lewin, meanwhile, is yet to make his first appearance of the season due to a knee problem, though he is closing in on a return. On the possibility of using the striker on Saturday, Frank Lampard said: "We're considering [it]. With Dominic, we're working to make sure he comes back in the best fitness and strength for us, so we'll see on that one." Lampard will be able to call on midfielder James Garner, who is back to full fitness after representing England U21s.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has suffered another minor setback and his anticipated return from injury has been delayed by at least another week.
Calvert-Lewin started the season with dreams of making it into England's World Cup squad but there is little possibility of that happening now, as the earliest he will return to Premier League action is against Manchester United on October 9.
The striker was injured on the eve of the campaign and Frank Lampard had hoped to get Calvert-Lewin up-and-running against West Ham on September 18 but was forced to pull him out of that game and Everton's manager will hold him back against Southampton, too.
