Everton team confirmed as Dele Alli and Donny van de Beek decisions made for Newcastle United

Dele Alli and Donny van de Beek start Everton's crunch Premier League game with Newcastle United on the bench - as Frank Lampard makes two changes from his debut win.

Yerry Mina starts in place of the injured Ben Godfrey while Andros Townsend comes into the starting line-up as Vitalii Mykolenko misses out.

Alli and Van de Beek are joined on the bench by Anwar El-Ghazi, who has yet to play for the Blues since joining on loan last month, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin is also among the substitutes.

Jordan Pickford remains in goal with Mina, Michael Keane and Mason Holgate expected to make up a back three.

Townsend, Allan, Andre Gomes and Seamus Coleman look set to play in a midfield four with Lampard sticking with the front three who played so well in the FA Cup win over Brentford on Saturday.

Anthony Gordon, Richarlison and Demarai Gray will hope to fire Everton to an important victory at St James' Park.

Everton team: Pickford, Coleman, Townsend, Holgate, Mina, Keane, Gomes, Allan, Gray, Richarlison, Gordon. Subs: Begovic, Kenny, Patterson, Branthwaite, Van de Beek, El Ghazi, Iwobi, Alli, Calvert-Lewin.

Newcastle team: Dubravka, Trippier, Lascelles, Schar, Targett, Willock, Shelvey, Joelinton, Fraser, Wood, Saint-Maximin. Subs: Darlow, Krafth, Manquillo, Murphy, Burn, Guimarães, Almirón, Longstaff, Gayle
