Forward's Full Debut As Everton Makes Two Changes For Cherries

Tyrique George is handed his full Everton debut while Jarrad Branthwaite returns to the starting XI as the two changes for the Blues' Premier League clash against Bournemouth at Hill Dickinson Stadium (7.30pm GMT).

Having come off the bench on 68 minutes during Saturday's 2-1 win at Fulham, George – who joined on loan from Chelsea on the final day of the winter transfer window – is set to start on the left wing ahead of Harrison Armstrong in an attack that also includes Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Iliman Ndiaye on the right flank and Thierno Barry up front.

Meanwhile, Branthwaite is preferred in central defence to Michael Keane, partnering captain James Tarkowski, with Jake O'Brien and Vitalii Mykolenko the full-backs and Jordan Pickford in goal.

Elsewhere, James Garner makes his 100th Premier League appearance for Everton, joining Idrissa Gana Gueye as the defensive midfielders.

Everton XI: Pickford, O'Brien, Tarkowski (c), Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Gana, Garner, Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, George, Barry.

Subs: Travers, Patterson, Keane, Beto, Dibling, Alcaraz, Röhl, Iroegbunam, Armstrong.
