Moyes has decisions to make as Blues get ready for Etihad test

WHAT a difference a goal makes.

- By PAUL WHEELOCK

Had Jack Grealish not inadvertently turned in Daniel Munoz’s attempted clearance into the Crystal Palace net, the international break could have looked markedly different for Everton.

Yes, there would have been positives to take from an improved second-half performance and the fact they'd snatched a point from a long-unbeaten Eagles side.

But a 1-1 draw would have stretched the Blues’ winless run in all competitions to five matches and left manager David Moyes with plenty to ponder going into the latest enforced interruption in the domestic football calendar.

Instead Grealish’s late intervention sealed a dramatic and rousing 2-1 triumph over a Palace team who suffered their first defeat since April. How they must hate facing Everton.

That said, Moyes still has plenty to think about when it comes to his starting lineup ahead of the return to action at Manchester City on Saturday, October 18.

And here we take a look at some of the changes the Blues boss could make for that tricky test at the Etihad.
