'Patterson starts with DCL on the bench'
Adam Jones: Selection issues will continue to make life trickey for Frank Lampard in this match. Donny van de Beek is at least expected to be back involved which will be a bonus, but not being able to call on Fabian Delph in the wake of Allan's continued suspension will be tricky.
The big debate, you'd imagine, will centre around whether to use a four or five-man defence. The latter still does not seem to suit Everton in my personal opinion, so a flat back four should be required.
