Everton are without Amadou Onana and Idrissa Gana Gueye for their crunch clash against Burnley at Goodison Park.

Manager Sean Dyche has been forced to rejig his midfield following a 1-1 draw at Newcastle United earlier this week. The Toffees boss admitted that Onana was carrying a knock at his pre-match press conference and was a doubt.

James Garner and Andre Gomes both come into the engine room.

Meanwhile, Dominic Calvert-Lewin spearheads the attack after scoring his first goal in 24 matches from the penalty spot against Newcastle. And captain Seamus Coleman replaces Ben Godfrey at right-back.

Everton are aiming to arrest a 13-match winless streak in the Premier League - their worst ever run in the competition. They face a Burnley outfit who have won only four games since regaining promotion back to the top flight.

Everton: Pickford, Coleman, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Garner, Gomes, Doucoure, Young, Calvert-Lewin, McNeil.

Subs: Virginia, Lonergan, Godfrey, Keane, Patterson, Warrington, Harrison, Beto, Chermiti.
