Richarlison will look to contnue his goalscoring exploits upfront - the winner against Chelsea was his fourth goal in five games.

Behind the Brazilian, the duo of Anthony Gordon, Demarai Gray will look to create.

The experienced Fabian Delph has been a steady head in the Toffees midfield, and retains his position in the starting lineup alongside Abdoulaye Doucoure.

Behind them, the colossal Yerry Mina starts consecutive games for the first time since his return from injury alongside Mason Holgate and Seamus Coleman.
