Frank Lampard’s Everton tenure gets under way in earnest when takes charge of his first game on Saturday.
The Toffees welcome Brentford to Goodison Park in the FA Cup fourth round and there’s plenty of optimism among supporters after Lampard’s appointment.
The Chelsea legend’s main task is to turn around Everton’s fortunes in the Premier League.
They’ve won just one of their past 14 league games after a 1-0 loss to Aston Villa last month.
But a cup run also would be welcomed by fans if Everton can climb the table, having dropped to 16th.
Certainly, it will be interesting what sort team Lampard fields.
He will be without January signings Donny van de Beek (Manchester United), Dele Alli (Tottenham Hotspur) and Anwar El Ghazi (Aston Villa) as they are all cup-tied.
Here is how we think Everton will line-up against Brentford.
