It is certainly a difficult period for Everton right now; the latest set of financial fair play and sustainability charges are a bitter pill to swallow after already having 10 points deducted earlier this season.
On the pitch, their form has dipped and despite a strong December which saw them win four games on the bounce they currently sit just one point ahead of Luton Town and they are in a real risk of being dragged into another relegation battle.
Goals have dried up and with the January window in full swing, fans are hoping for any sort of boost they can get from the transfer market. Looking at their finances, it will be difficult to make any additions, but there are options on the free or loan market they could explore.
Therefore, here at LiverpoolWorld, we've decided to look at what a potential Everton XI could look like if the current rumours are true.
