Richarlison (£7.9m) starts up
The Brazilian was one of the Toffees key performers in the much-needed Gameweek 9 win over West Ham and Marco Silva has kept faith in him.
Supporting Richarlison in his free-ranging centre-forward role is an attacking midfield trio of Theo Walcott (£6.2m), Alex Iwobi (£5.8m) and Bernard (£6.5m).
Djibril Sidibé (£5.3m) keeps his place in the XI despite Seamus Coleman (£5.4m) returning from suspension, who is handed a place on the bench.

Finally, Fabian Balbuena (£4.3m) comes into the West Ham defence for his first start since Gameweek 1, Angelo Ogbonna (£4.5m) dropping to the bench.
Pablo Fornals (£6.1m) is also demoted there, so that Andriy Yarmolenko (£6.0m), Robert Snodgrass (£5.2m) and Felipe Anderson (£6.9m) can support Sebastien Haller (£7.4m) in
As expected, John Lundstram (£4.6m) holds his place in the Sheffield United midfield as Callum Robinson (£5.3m) and David McGoldrick (£5.4m) start up-front.
