RBM Roundtable: Everton’s start to the 26/27 season
Everton against all odds are off to a good start to the season, can they keep it going?
Everton has begun the 2026/27 Premier League season with an unbeaten streak of five games, including two wins and three draws. This puts them in seventh place in a cluster of four teams, with nine points to their name. The current lack of a top-half fixture has allowed them to remain relatively stable, but the lack of goals scored thus far has raised some eyebrows.
Tactical approaches have evolved from the frequently seen 4-1-4-1 pre-season format to the more familiar 4-2-3-1 system, which may better suit the team's right-back, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, who is comfortable with forward play. Despite the overall positive start, concerns have been raised about the limited squad usage and the need for more rotation among the players, especially with the small number of available squad members.
