Everton confirm starting XI v Watford
Everton have confirmed their starting XI for today’s Premier League clash against Watford.
Rafael Benitez has made two changes from the side that lost 1-0 to West Ham at Goodison Park.
Jordan Pickford retains his place in goal, despite his error in that clash against the Irons last time out.
He will be protected by a back four consisting of Seamus Coleman, Ben Godfrey, Michael Keane, and Lucas Digne.
Abdoulaye Doucource is injured, so Tom Davies partners Allan in the centre of midfield.
Demarai Gray and Andros Townsend are on either wing, with Anthony Gordon just in behind Salomon Rondon.
A strong side from Benitez.
Now, obviously, the Toffees will miss Doucoure and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, but this is still a strong team, and the return of Richarlison should make a huge difference.
Hopefully, Rondon can finally score his first Everton goal, while Townsend and Gray should cause the Hornets plenty of problems.
On the bench, the Toffees can call on Alex Iwobi, Anthony Gordon, Lewis Dobbin, and Jean-Philippe Gbamin should things start to go wrong.
However, we believe that the Toffees should have more than enough to seal a win against Watford, who were dreadful last week.
The Hornets looked so poor against Liverpool, and Benitez’s side should be able to exploit the gaps in this team and seal a comfortable victory.
We can’t wait for the match to get going and are expecting a strong display from the Toffees.
