Dubravka, Targett, Burn, Schar, Krafth, Willock, Longstaff, Guimaraes, Murphy, Wood and Fraser
Prediction: Everton 1-2 Newcastle United
Newcastle is expected to return to winning ways here due to their outstanding form and confidence.
The Toffees seem destined for a place in the last 3 and leaving the EPL for a year will be damaging to their future prospects.
Lampard’s men look cooked and this could be detrimental for the players.
Players to watch out for: Richarlison, Van de Beek, Guimaraes and Murphy.
