Amadou Onana returns for Everton as Sean Dyche reverts to the central midfield partnership that helped him to a positive start with the Blues.
The 21-year-old has overcome a groin injury after missing the defeat to Fulham and draw at Crystal Palace. He will start alongside Abdoulaye Doucoure, who is back in the starting XI at the first time of asking after serving a three-game suspension for the red card he received against Tottenham Hotspur.
With Idrissa Gueye also set to start, it means Dyche has the midfield partnership that proved crucial to the wins over Arsenal, Leeds United and Brentford. For Newcastle United, Anthony Gordon is on the bench for his first return to Goodison Park since leaving for the North East in January.
