Everton team news vs Brighton confirmed as Richarlison decision made

Richarlison has won his race to be fit for today’s game with Brighton.

The Brazilian came off after an hour of Wednesday night’s cup tie with West Ham with an ankle injury but passed a late fitness test this morning.

Richarlison lines up as part of Everton’s now familiar front three with James Rodriguez and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

The injuries to Allan and Andre Gomes have forced Carlo Ancelotti into a midfield reshuffle with Tom Davies and Gylfi Sigurdsson starting their first league games of the season, playing alongside Abdoulaye Doucoure.

Jonas Lossl is the back-up goalkeeper on the bench and is joined by Fabian Delph, the returning Theo Walcott, Alex Iwobi, Niels Nkounkou, Bernard and the well-again Anthony Gordon.

Moise Kean has been ruled out through illness.

Everton (4-3-3): Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Mina, Digne, Doucoure, Sigurdsson, Davies, Rodriguez, Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison
