Ellis Simms starts for Everton against Manchester United as Sean Dyche attempts to deal with the absence of Abdoulaye Doucoure.
The Blues boss has included the Mali international in every starting line-up since his appointment but is unable to turn to him at Old Trafford following his red card against Tottenham Hotspur.
As a result, Dyche has shuffled his pack and turned to Simms, whose last significant contribution was the memorable late equaliser at Chelsea just before the international break. Simms’ third start for Everton means his three opportunities from the first minute have now come at Stamford Bridge, Anfield and Old Trafford.
