Everton line-ups as Donny van de Beek and formation decisions made for Leeds

Chris Beesley: For his first two matches as Everton manager, Frank Lampard has deployed a system of three centre-backs but during that time has already lost two of them to injury which could force the Blues boss into a major defensive reshuffle against Leeds United.

Ben Godfrey made an early exit from the 4-1 FA Cup win over Brentford on crutches while Yerry Mina now faces at least two months on the sidelines after he was forced off in the 3-1 loss at Newcastle United.

All this leaves Lampard with a lack of options at the back - he's also without Vitalii Mykolenko for this fixture - so I think he has to switch to a flat back four.
