Amadou Onana and Idrissa Gueye both start for Everton after winning their fitness battles following injuries suffered last weekend.
The midfield pair return to the side after missing the midweek cup match and overcoming ankle and quad injuries respectively. They are part of nine changes to the starting line-up from the 4-1 loss to Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup. Dwight McNeil comes in for Anthony Gordon while Neal Maupay also starts.
Frank Lampard also appears to have reverted back to his preferred 4-3-3 formation having played five at the back in that fixture. Dominic Calvert-Lewin had already been ruled out with hamstring, shoulder and knee issues so the availability of Onana and Gueye, both of whom are heading to the World Cup, is a welcome boost for a massive game ahead of the six week break in the domestic calendar. Everton could finish the weekend as high as 11th or as low as the relegation zone depending on results.
