Everton haven’t put a foot wrong so far this season as they head to Crystal Palace tomorrow.

Carlo Ancelotti made a host of changes for the midweek win over Fleetwood, but it is likely to be a more familiar side against the Eagles.

It was back-to-back 5-2 wins for the Toffees but they’ll be expecting a tricky game against a Palace side who have won both league games so far.

They blew Manchester United away last weekend, but Ancelotti has a fired-up, on-form squad at his disposal.

The good news for Everton is Ancelotti has already confirmed Dominic Calvert-Lewin is fit and will play, after he came off against Fleetwood.

Speaking to Everton’s official website, the Italian said: “Dominic is okay, he has no problems. He had a little problem in the game against Fleetwood but he recovered well. He is fit and he is going to play.”

Mason Holgate and Jarred Branthwaite remain sidelined with injury – which means Yerry Mina and Michael Keane will need to continue at the back.

The rest of the team almost picks itself, with Ancelotti unlikely to drop Jordan Pickford despite his midweek mistakes.

Andre Gomes, Allan and Abdoulaye Doucoure got the night off against Joey Barton’s men and should all return here.

Seamus Coleman and Lucas Digne should return too, with Richarlison and James Rodriguez supplying the bullets for Calvert-Lewin up front.

Everton need to try and keep this momentum going for as long as possible.
