Everton team news: player starts but only seven substitutes picked for match vs Sheffield UnitedEverton team news: Beto starts, but only seven replacements are picked for the match against Sheffield United.
Everton’s team news for the Sheffield United game is complete.
Sean Dyche has made one change for Everton’s clash against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane today.
And the Toffees boss has handed Beto a full Premier League debut. The striker arrived earlier this week from Udinese – and scoring on his bow in the 2-1 Carabao Cup win over Doncaster. Now Beto comes in to spearhead the attack, with Lewis Dobbin dropping to the bench.
That means Arnaut Danjuma, who scored his first goal for the club against Doncaster, will return to his preferred position on the left wing.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin is out again due to a face injury sustained in the loss to Aston Villa, although Dwight McNeil is back on the bench for the first time this season following an ankle injury.
Dyche, on the other hand, has only chosen seven substitutes, including two goalkeepers in Joao Virginia and Andy Lonergan. Dobbin is missing, as are Vitalii Mykolenko (who limped off at Doncaster) and Michael Keane.
Everton’s starting lineup is as follows: Pickford, Patterson, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Young, Gana Gueye, Onana, Doucoure, Garner, Danjuma, and Beto.
Virginia, Lonergan, Mykolenko, Godfrey, Onyango, McNeil, and Chermiti are the substitutes.
