Everton start their horror run in the Premier League this afternoon against Manchester United at Goodison Park.

Frank Lampard will be desperate for three points as relegation is starting to become a reality after defeat at Burnley.

Changes will be expected, with Michael Keane and Allan just two of the names back available after suspension.

Jordan Pickford will start in goal once again, and he will be hoping for much more help from the defence ahead of him.

Seamus Coleman and Keane will come back into the back four in our first two changes, with experience needed – meaning Jonjoe Kenny and Jarrad Branthwaite dropping out.

Vitalii Mykolenko and Ben Godfrey will keep their spots, despite the latter making a huge mistake to cost us three points last time out.

Allan will sit at the base of the midfield, with the Brazilian missed during his three-match suspension.

Abdoulaye Doucoure will also start again, but it will come from a strong warning from Lampard that he needs to do much more.

Interestingly, Fabian Delph will come in with his cameos this season more impressive than those around him, only for injury to haunt him – his first start since December.

Richarlison finally got back on the goalscoring wagon against Burnley, finding the net twice, he needs to keep that going.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin needs to learn a thing or two from his South American teammate, and Anthony Gordon will round out the side.

Here’s our predicted Toffees starting XI…
