Premier League: Build-up to Everton v Villa before Man Utd v Tottenham

Everton welcome back Abdoulaye Doucoure after five games out with the midfielder going straight into the XI.

He replaces Dwight McNeil in one of two changes to Sean Dyche’s side from the goalless draw at Crystal Palace in the FA Cup. The other sees Jordan Pickford return in goal.

McNeil went off injured in that game but is fit enough for a place on the bench.

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Onana, Garner, Doucoure, Harrison, Danjuma, Calvert-Lewin.

Substitutes: Virginia, Patterson, Keane, McNeil, Beto, Gomes, Godfrey, Chermiti, Dobbin.

Unai Emery makes four changes to the Aston Villa side that started their 1-0 FA Cup win at Middlesbrough last weekend.

Matty Cash was the match-winner at the Riverside but he drops to the bench with Diego Carlos taking his place in the back four.

Douglas Luiz, Moussa Diaby and top-scorer Ollie Watkins also return to the side while fit-again Youri Tielemens is among the substitutes.

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Konsa, Carlos, Lenglet, Moreno, Kamara, Luiz, Bailey, McGinn, Diaby, Watkins.

Substitutes: Marschall, Wright, Cash, Tielemens, Zaniolo, Duran, Dendoncker, Iroegbunam.
