Everton team news confirmed as Frank Lampard makes one change for Tottenham Hotspur

Dwight McNeil comes in to replace Anthony Gordon in the only change to Everton's starting line-up for the Premier League clash at Tottenham Hotspur.

Blues boss Frank Lampard sticks with the 4-3-3 formation he moved to at Leeds United and shows faith in the side that began the game against Manchester United last weekend.

McNeil starts due to Gordon's one-match suspension for picking up five yellow cards in nine Premier League games. The summer signing from Burnley last started in the 2-1 win at Southampton, taking the place of Gordon, who was ill, and scoring the winner with an emphatic half-volley in the second half.

Neal Maupay and Demarai Gray join McNeil in Everton's forward line-up with Dominic Calvert-Lewin - who earned his first minutes of the season in the defeat to Man Utd on Sunday - on the bench.

James Garner, who came on to make his debut in the same game, is also among the substitutes, with Alex Iwobi, Amadou Onana and Idrissa Gueye the midfield three again. Abdoulaye Doucoure, who missed out last weekend due to personal reasons, is on the bench.

Tottenham, meanwhile, have named Richarlison in their starting line-up. The Brazilian made the move to Spurs from the Blues in the summer.

EVERTON: Pickford; Coleman, Coady, Tarkowski, Mykolenko; Iwobi, Gueye, Onana; McNeil, Maupay, Gray. Subs: Begovic, Keane, Calvert-Lewin, Doucoure, Davies, Vinagre, Rondon, Garner, Welch.

TOTTENHAM: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Doherty, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Perisic; Richarlison, Kane, Son Heung-Min. Subs: Forster, Skipp, Sanchez, Gil, Sessegnon, Spence, Moura, Lenglet, Bissouma.
