Everton and Man City line ups as forward handed first start of season

Marco Silva has handed Theo Walcott his first start of the season and recalled Dominic Calvert-Lewin to the starting line-up for tonight’s game with Manchester City.

Moise Kean, who started against Sheffield United, drops to the bench but there is no place for Bernard in the squad.

Jordan Pickford continues in goal with Silva keeping faith with the back four from the league defeat to Sheffield United last weekend.

Seamus Coleman, captain, Michael Keane, Yerry Mina and Lucas Digne form the backline with Fabian Delph and Morgan Schneiderlin continuing in midfield.

Silva has then selected Gylfi Sigurdsson, Walcott and Richarlison behind Calvert-Lewin.
