Vitalii Mykolenko should be dropped from Everton’s lineup after a torrid first-half performance against Arsenal.

Sean Dyche faces a crucial decision on Vitalii Mykolenko following his first-half performance against Arsenal.

Everton’s Vitalii Mykolenko featured in the starting lineup at the Emirates on Saturday, 14 December, as Sean Dyche sought to spring a surprise against Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal. Jack Harrison also made the team.

Despite Everton’s confidence following a dominant 4-0 victory over Wolves on 4 December and a week-long break due to the Merseyside derby postponement, Arsenal posed a significant challenge as one of the world’s top teams on their day.

Dyche placed his trust in a defensive quartet of Ashley Young, James Tarkowski, Jarrad Branthwaite, and Mykolenko to withstand the Gunners’ attack. However, Mykolenko faced a tough test against Bukayo Saka in the first half, struggling to keep the England international at bay, although the match remained goalless at halftime.
