Makes first league start
Patterson generated three tackles (one won), six clearances and one interception in Tuesday's 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: With Michael Keane (undisclosed) sidelined, Patterson made his first league start at right-back, with Jake O'Brien shifting into a central role. He recorded his first clean sheet of the season, contributing three tackles, one interception and six clearances. Patterson has struggled with injuries and missed nine games this season, and while he could be in line for another start with Everton's options depleted, the quick turnaround could see James Garner, who has played the position earlier this season, or Merlin Rohl, who filled in after Patterson was substituted, come into consideration.
Available off bench Tuesday
Patterson (foot) remained an unused substitute in Tuesday's 1-0 victory against Bournemouth, confirming he is back fit for Everton.
Analysis: Patterson has fully cleared his foot injury since he was back available off the bench in Tuesday's win against the Cherries. The defender has yet to play his first minutes this season for the Toffees and that could happen in Saturday's clash against Forest given the numerous injuries in the backline and suspensions in the midfield.
