Despite Frank Lampard strongly hinting that he was set to make changes for his side's final game of the season, there was one noticeable absence.
The Everton manager did give opportunities to some players who had been on the fringes for some periods of time. Jarrad Branthwaite, Tom Davies and Dele all started with numerous young talents being given places on the bench.
Loan signing Donny van de Beek was also given what would likely have been his last bow as an Everton player, being brought on as a substitute to score his side's only goal of the game. But, his fellow temporary arrival in the January transfer window was nowhere to be seen.
