Fabian Delph has been picked to start at left-wing back for Everton in today’s game with Burnley.

Carlo Ancelotti said Niels Nkounkou would feature at some point today, when asked at yesterday’s press conference, but the young French full-back is not in the matchday 18 at Turf Moor today.

Jordan Pickford continues in goal but Ancelotti has made changes to his back three with Yerry Mina coming in for Mason Holgate.

Alex Iwobi looks set to start as a right-wing back, with Allan, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Fabian Delph making up Everton’s midfield four.

James Rodriguez, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison are the front three.

Jonas Lossl continues as back-up goalkeeper on the bench alongside Mason Holgate, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Tom Davies, Andre Gomes, Bernard and Cenk Tosun.

There is no place in the squad for Nkounkou, Anthony Gordon or Jonjoe Kenny.

Michael Keane is captain today.

Starting XI: Pickford; Godfrey, Mina, Keane, Delph; Iwobi, Allan, Doucoure; Rodriguez, Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison

Subs: Lossl, Holgate, Sigurdsson, Davies, Gomes, Bernard, Tosun
