Unai Emery makes four changes to the side that started the 2-0 Europa League win over Feyenoord.

Emiliano Martinez, Lucas Digne, Lamare Bogarde and Donyell Malen all return, ousting Marco Bizot, Ian Maatsen, Emiliano Buendia and Evann Guessand from the starting XI.

The only change from Burnley manager Scott Parker sees Axel Tuanzebe start. Hjalmar Ekdal makes way.

There are two changes to the Everton XI from Monday night: Tyler Dibling and Thierno Barry in for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Beto.
