Everton face a huge task to pick up their third win of the Premier League season when Manchester City visit Goodison Park on Saturday, so it is in many ways a free hit for Marco Silva.
As a result, the Portuguese manager should use the opportunity to test out a new signing who so far hasn’t had too many opportunities to impress in the first team.
That player is Djibril Sidibe, who has been confined to featuring only in the League Cup due to captain Seamus Coleman occupying the right-back slot. However, so far this season he has sometimes failed to impress, which could lead to him losing his place in the team.
Sidibe is still settling in and will need game time to improve his fitness and adjust to the English game, and Manchester City could be the perfect opponent, with anything other than a loss a massive bonus.
However, he has achieved success against Pep Guardiola’s team in the past, when at Monaco, and if he can put in the same type of performance as he did in those two Champions League matches in 2017 then he could come out as the victor once again.
A key reason for that is his ability to read the game and that should prevent Manchester City exploiting Everton out wide with their through balls that often prove so effective, utilising the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva to supply crosses into the box.

His seven interceptions from his two Carabao Cup matches underlines that ability, but he will have to step up his game further against the champions, having so far only played against teams outside of the top-flight.
If Sidibe impresses he could earn himself a regular berth in the side, particularly as Coleman has failed to impress in attacking areas this season, with a crossing accuracy of just 47%, an underwhelming return for a player who has to provide most of the Toffees’ width on the right side, as Richarlison often looks to get into the box.
