The Everton boss is poised to make one change following the score draw away at Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend.

Jordan Pickford will, of course, retain his place in the starting line-up. Only Manchester City’s Ederson has managed more clean sheets than the England number one.

The back four is set to remain unchanged, with James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite continuing their solid relationship.

Ben Godfrey is scheduled to make his seventh start of the season at right-back and Vitaliy Mykolenko assumes his position on the left.

Moving into midfield, the settled duo of Idrissa Gueye and James Garner will remain, though, we could see some change out wide.

Jack Harrison and Dwight McNeil have both struggled to contribute in the attacking phase this term, so perhaps youthful Lewis Dobbin could be given an opportunity from the start.

Dobbin has made one league start this term in the defeat to Wolves back in August but after a series of cameos in recent weeks, he could be ready to make an impact from the first whistle – although we still think he’s most likely to feature from the bench.

In attack is where we’ve elected to make the major call. Dominic Calvert-Lewin hasn’t scored since October and will be starved of confidence in front of goal.

That’s where £15m summer signing Youssef Chermiti enters the equation. Having netted twice in an under-21 fixture earlier this week, the youthful forward will be keen to make an impact on Dyche.

Capped at youth level by Portugal, the 2004-born is undoubtedly a good player but hasn’t really been given a look this season.

Abdoulaye Doucoure will retain his place just behind Chermiti.

Everton expected XI (4-4-1-1): Pickford, Godfrey, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Harrison, Gueye, Garner, McNeil; Doucoure; Chermiti.
