Calvert-Lewin misses out as Everton host Burnley

In the final match of Gameweek 4, Everton hope to go four games unbeaten when they entertain Burnley at Goodison Park.

Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.

The big news for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers is that there is no Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.2m) in the matchday squad.

Toffees manager Rafa Benitez provided an update prior to kick-off:

As a result, it looks like a potential back-three formation for Everton, with Richarlison (£7.5m) leading the line and new signing Salomon Rondon (£6.0m) on the bench.

Captain Seamus Coleman (£5.0m) starts after the hamstring injury he suffered on international duty turned out to be minor, Fabian Delph (£4.4m) misses the game with a shoulder injury, while James Rodriguez (£6.9m) sits out due to match fitness issues.

As for Burnley, club record-signing Maxwel Cornet (£6.0m) is a substitute, with Sean Dyche sticking with the same starting XI that drew with Leeds United in Gameweek 3.

Connor Roberts (£4.5m), Nathan Collins (£4.4m) and Dale Stephens (£4.5m) are all missing from the matchday squad.

LINE-UPS

Everton XI: Pickford, Godfrey, Keane, Mina, Coleman, Allan, Doucoure, Digne, Gray, Townsend, Richarlison

Subs: Begovic, Kenny, Holgate, Iwobi, Gomes, Gordon, Gbamin, Davies, Rondon

Burnley XI: Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Gudmundsson, Westwood, Brownhill, McNeil, Barnes, Wood

Subs: Hennessey, Cork, Rodriguez, Lennon, Cornet, Pieters, Barnsley, Vydra, Thomas

      yeah not great about Digne, but Everton have been unlucky to concede in 3 games so far.

      Just more concerned about him not pushing far up the pitch, Coleman looks much better in that regard.

      I have some buyers regret (Digne) - I got just on heatmaps and stats. First Everton game I've seen this season.

      It was a 3 week punt anyway before moving Chelsea def in so may be ok but he hasn't been involved much at all.

          I don't expect Watford to get many pens though.

          I think Brighton are better defensively than Arsenal and I expect Arsenal to concede in their next few games anyway. Burnley will rough them up and expose their frailties, then it's Spurs who you'd imagine will score and then away to Brighton who again I'd fancy to score.

      Everyone on here continually slates Gray despite him scoring every week yet they love and recommend Raphina to everyone....

        Shaw will become James in 2 weeks. Who do you prefer to Traore for 6m or less?

    Pukki instead of Sarr/Adama worth it if it allows me to upgrade Marcal to James?
