Allan and Michael Keane return as Frank Lampard makes double Everton midfield change vs Man United

Frank Lampard has made four changes as Everton face Man Utd this afternoon.

In a crucial game in the club’s bid for Premier League survival, Seamus Coleman returns after illness and captains the side.

Speaking of Coleman’s leadership abilities on Friday, Lampard said: “He's a fantastic captain of the club. Everything I heard before I came, from Carlo Ancelotti and others in the game, was about Seamus Coleman being an incredible captain and he's delivered that and more. His effect on the lads when he speaks is immense.”
