Everton have officially confirmed their starting line-up and substitutes to lock horns with Leeds United in the Premier League at Elland Road tonight.

 

Carlo Ancelotti’s side sit in eighth in the league standings on 33 points, six points off fourth placed Leicester City.

 

 

Everton suffered a damaging 2-0 defeat at home against Newcastle United at the weekend, but have won their last three games on the road and Ancelotti will hope to see his men return to winning ways tonight.

 

Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford is absent with injury, while Allan and Jean-Philippe Gbamin are still sidelined.

 

 

Ancelotti hands Robin Olsen an outing in goal, while at the back he selects Ben Godfrey and Lucas Digne as full-backs, while Mason Holgate partners Yerry Mina in the centre.

 

Further up the pitch Everton deploy Andre Gomez, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Gylfi Sigurdsson in midfield, while Richarlison and Alex Iwobi support Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

 

If Ancelotti wants to make changes to his side he can look towards his bench, where options include James Rodriguez and Joshua King.
