Everton confirmed team news and lineup as Jordan Pickford starts but Ben Godfrey replaced

Jordan Pickford has kept his place in goal despite his high-profile error against Leicester City in midweek.

Carlo Ancelotti was asked if Pickford would start today’s game with Newcastle United but, as of yesterday afternoon, said he had not made up his mind.

But Pickford keeps his place as Ancelotti makes four changes to the Blues’ starting line-up.

Seamus Coleman comes in for Mason Holgate at right-back with Lucas Digne dropping back to his usual left-back position in place of Ben Godfrey.
