Everton head into the game having only managed a 1-1 draw at home with Newcastle United, and will be hoping to get back to winning ways at home tonight.

The Toffees go with Jordan Pickford in goal, and a back four of Seamus Coleman, Michael Keane, Yerry Mina and Lucas Digne ahead of the England international.

Andre Gomes partners Idrissa Gueye in midfield, whilst Bernard and Theo Walcott come back into the side and join Gylfi Sigurdsson in supporting lone striker Richarlison, who takes on his former club tonight.

Ademola Lookman and Cenk Tosun drop down to the bench, alongside Maarten Stekelenburg, Leighton Baines, Kurt Zouma, Tom Davies and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Meanwhile, Watford start Ben Foster in goal, and start Kiko Femenia, Craig Cathcart, Christian Kabasele and Jose Holebas in front of the shot-stopper.

There are first Premier League starts for summer signings Domingos Quina and Ken Sema, joining Abdoulaye Doucoure and Roberto Pereyra in midfield, with Isaac Success and Troy Deeney in attack.

Ex-Everton winger Gerard Deulofeu is only on the bench, Heurelho Gomes, Adrian Mariappa, Adam Masina, Ben Wlimot, Nathaniel Chalobah and Stefano Okaka.
