Benitez Names Everton XI For West Ham Clash

Seamus Coleman returns to captain Everton and there is a start for Alex Iwobi, as manager Rafa Benitez makes two changes for Sunday's Premier League meeting with West Ham United.

Three-quarters of the Blues' front four for the draw at Manchester United a fortnight ago remains intact, then.

Salomon Rondon makes his fourth league start for the Club up front and will be supported by the trio of Iwobi, reaching his half-century of competitive Everton starts, Demarai Gray and Old Trafford goalscorer Andros Townsend.

Coleman is back following a three-match absence and plays at right-back. Lucas Digne is fit to fill his customary role on the left of defence after overcoming the hamstring niggle that forced an early return from international duty with France.

Michael Keane makes his 150th competitive Everton start and will be partnered by Ben Godfrey at centre-half.

Allan and Abdoulaye Doucoure continue their proficient midfield partnership and Jordan Pickford begins the match in goal after winning a 41st England cap in midweek.

Yerry Mina, Jean-Philippe Gbamin, Tom Davies, Mason Holgate and Anthony Gordon are included among Everton's substitutes.

They are joined on the bench by Jonjoe Kenny, Lewis Dobbin and the goalkeeping duo of Asmir Begovic and Harry Tyrer.
