Our writers pick their Everton teams for the Premier League game against Aston Villa at Villa Park
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has to start if he is deemed fit enough, as does Arnaut Danjuma. Quite where either is in their battle for match fitness is unclear, but they can’t be far off.
This all being said, Everton were good last week and there were many positives, particularly the performances of Alex Iwobi and Amadou Onana. I don’t think wholesale change is needed, just incremental switches. My team : Pickford; Patterson, Keane, Tarkowski, Young; Iwobi, Onana, Doucoure, Gueye, Danjuma; Calvert-Lewin.
As first-team coach Steve Stone told the ECHO when speaking from the Blues' pre-season training camp by the shores of Lake Geneva last month: "It’s not about if Dominic is going to be fit for the first game of the season, it’s can we get Dominic ‘fit fit’ and we mean really fit like he was two years ago so when we play him you go ‘oh yeah’."
