McNeil & Alcaraz Start Ipswich Clash

Dwight McNeil and Charly Alcaraz return to Everton's starting line-up for Saturday's clash with Ipswich Town.

Boss David Moyes makes two changes from the side that started the 1-0 defeat at Chelsea last weekend, with Abdoulaye Doucoure missing out on the matchday squad and Jack Harrison named on the bench.

Jordan Pickford continues as captain in goal, shielded by the same back four of Vitalii Mykolenko, Jarrad Branthwaite, Jake O'Brien and Nathan Patterson.

Idrissa Gana Gueye and James Garner begin in the heart of midfield, with McNeil – on his first start since 4 December – Alcaraz and Iliman Ndiaye set to occupy more advanced roles.

Beto spearheads the Toffees' attack.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is named as a substitute for the first time after suffering a hamstring injury in late January.

Harrison, Joao Virginia, Michael Keane, Youssef Chermiti, Ashley Young, Armando Broja, Seamus Coleman and Tim Iroegbunam are also on the bench.
