Salomon Rondon will not start for Everton as the club's only fit and recognised first team striker begins the match with Aston Villa on the bench.
The Venezuela international was suspended for the Blues' season opener against Chelsea following the straight red card he received against Brentford last season. Anthony Gordon started the furthest forward in that 1-0 defeat, during which Everton struggled to take advantage of a handful of opportunities.
With Dominic Calvert-Lewin still absent due to his knee injury, whether Rondon would start was one of the big questions going into the trip to Villa Park. But Frank Lampard has opted to instead to retain the same front three as last week.
