Everton team news confirmed as Josh King and James Rodriguez on bench at Leeds United

Josh King is eligible for Everton this evening and starts on the bench for the club’s trip to Elland Road to face Leeds United.

There had initially been some confusion over whether the deadline day signing would be available for the Blues, but he is involved in the matchday squad for the first time since signing from Bournemouth.

In total Carlo Ancelotti has made four changes to the side that lost 2-0 to Newcastle at Goodison Park on Saturday.

James Rodriguez is among the substitutes with Andre Gomes being recalled to the starting line-up.

Michael Keane and Seamus Coleman have dropped to the bench also with both Ben Godfrey and Mason Holgate being recalled to the starting 11.

The other change sees Robin Olsen replace the injured Jordan Pickford in goal, with Ancelotti confirming earlier this week that the Everton No.1 had suffered an injury to his side in the defeat to Newcastle.

Everton XI - Olsen, Godfrey, Mina, Holgate, Digne, Doucoure, Gomes, Sigurdsson, Iwobi, Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison.

SUBS - Virginia, Keane, Coleman, Nkounkou, Delph, Davies, Bernard, James, King
