Here is how we predict Everton will line up against Apollon on Thursday evening:

Ronald Koeman, Manager of Everton looks on during the Carabao Cup Third Round match between Everton and Sunderland at Goodison Park on September 20, 2017 in Liverpool, England.

Everton’s Europa League campaign got off to the worse possibly start as they lost 3-0 to Atalanta earlier this month, but the Toffees will be hoping to get three points on the board when they welcome Apollon Limassol to Goodison Park.

Ronald Koeman’s side will be buzzing after their dramatic victory against Bournemouth last weekend, when previously forgotten man Oumar Niasse snatched a brace to pull Everton out of the doldrums at the perfect time.

With the matches coming thick and fast, there are likely to be changes for this fixture, with the likes of Jonjoe Kenny, Tom Davies and Niasse himself all likely to start after coming off the bench on Saturday.

In early team news, Everton are without Seamus Coleman, Ramiro Funes Mori, Yannick Bolasie, Ross Barkley and James McCarthy, while centre-backs Michael Keane and Phil Jagielka are rated at 50 per cent to feature due to foot and hamstring injuries respectively.

Everton worked hard to get to the group stage of this competition so they will not want to bow out early, meaning three points on Thursday evening is vital as they look ahead to the double-header against Lyon.

With all that in mind here is how we expect Everton to line up on Thursday evening:
