The Frank Lampard era at Everton didn’t get off to the best of starts earlier this week as the Toffees were beaten 3-1 by relegation rivals Newcastle United.

The Merseyside club are now hovering perilously close to the bottom three, but luckily for Lampard, they have a winnable game this weekend against Leeds.

Indeed, the Whites have been fellow strugglers this season, and Everton will come into this game knowing they should be able to get a result.

Factor in the history between Frank Lampard and Marcelo Bielsa and you have the recipe for one of the spiciest games of the Premier League season so far.

With all of that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting Everton’s starting XI for this match.

We think that Frank Lampard will opt to make three changes for this game.

Yerry Mina’s injury will likely lead to Lampard reverting to a back four, especially when you consider the injury sustained by Ben Godfrey last week.

Donny van de Beek and Dele Alli come into the XI, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin spearheads the attack, with Richarlison shifting over to the right wing.

Everton will be hoping to get the better of Leeds, and if Lampard fields this XI his side should have a great chance.
