Frank Lampard makes Jarrad Branthwaite decision as Mason Holgate question asked for Everton at Burnley

Jarrad Branthwaite comes into Everton's starting line up tonight for the crunch game with Burnley.

The teenager makes the step up with Michael Keane suspended following his red card at West Ham.

He is joined by Ben Godfrey, Jonjoe Kenny and Vitaliy Mykolenko in defence with Mason Holgate also making the first XI.

The question will be whether Holgate, who deputised in midfield after Donny van de Beek's late withdrawal on Sunday, starts as part of a back three or retains his place further up the pitch alongside Abdoulaye Doucoure.

Anthony Gordon replaces Demarai Gray and is set to form part of an attacking quartet with Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Alexander Iwobi and Richarlison.

As confirmed by Frank Lampard ahead of today's trip to Turf Moor, Fabian Delph returns to the squad after his injury. But he finds himself on the bench alongside Gray and Dele Alli.

Seamus Coleman also starts as a substitute, with Jordan Pickford wearing the captain's armband.

Asmir Begovic, Solomon Rondon and Anwar El Ghazi are joined by young stars Isaac Price and Reece Welch on the bench.

Everton: Pickford (c), Kenny, Branthwaite, Godfrey, Mykolenko, Holgate, Doucoure, Iwobi, Gordon, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin

Subs: Begovic, Coleman, Delph, Gray, Rondon, Alli, Price, Welch, El Ghazi,
