Everton line-up confirmed as Abdoulaye Doucoure and Alex Iwobi decisions made vs Man City

Frank Lampard has named his Everton starting line-up to face Manchester City at Goodison Park today.

The Toffees boss has made just one change from last weekend’s disappointing 2-0 loss at Southampton.

Abdoulaye Doucoure makes an immediate return to the starting line-up after missing the past four games.

He comes in for Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has picked up a slight injury.

Apart from that, it’s the same team as against Southampton, although it appears Everton will switch to a 4-2-3-1 formation.

The likes of Alex Iwobi, Allan and Michael Keane retain their starting spots.

Demarai Gray is back from a hip issue but can only make the bench.

Lampard has also opted not to start Vitaliy Mykolenko amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine - the left-back’s homeland.

A banner is set to be unveiled by fans in support of Mykolenko and Everton have said they’ll give him all the support needed.

Everton: Pickford, Kenny, Keane, Holgate, Coleman, Doucoure, Allan, van de Beek, Gordon, Iwobi, Richarlison.

Subs: Begovic, Patterson, Gray, Townsend, Mykolenko, Branthwaite, Rondon, El Ghazi, Dele.
