Everton play the first of two games in the Sydney Super Cup when they face Celtic in the early hours of Sunday morning (03.45 GMT).
The Toffees are in Australia after the season paused for the World Cup and Frank Lampard will be hoping for a productive spell.
Everton find themselves just one point and one place above the Premier League relegation zone. And after sobering back-to-back defeats to Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup and the top flight, Lampard knows improvement is required to ensure another scrap at the bottom of the table is avoided.
The Blues are missing six players in total. Jordan Pickford, Conor Coady (both England), Amadou Onana (Belgium) and Idrissa Gana Gueye (Senegal) are all at the World Cup while Alex Iwobi (Nigeria) and Seamus Coleman (Republic of Ireland) were called up for international friendlies.
With a game against Wester Sydney Warriors also taking place next week, it’ll be interesting to see the team Lampard names.
Here’s the Everton starting line-up we predict to face Scottish champions Celtic.

2. RB - Nathan Patterson
