Everton v Sunderland (12:15 GMT)

Everton have eight players out because of injuries, suspensions and international duty but David Moyes has named a relatively strong starting XI at least.

There are four changes from the draw with Wolves, two enforced after Jack Grealish and Michael Keane were sent off.

Nathan Patterson, Merlin Rohl, Beto and Tyler Dibling come in. There’s no Tim Iroegbunam. David Moyes says he has a “slight injury”.

Everton’s bench is lacking experience with 17-year-old Malik Olayiwola in line for a debut.

Everton XI: Pickford; Mykolenko, O’Brien, Tarkowski, Patterson; Armstrong, Garner, Rohl; McNeil, Beto, Dibling

Subs: Travers, King, Barry, Aznou, Graham, Welch, Campbell, Bates, Olayiwola

Sunderland have made five changes but it’s still a pretty strong XI.

Luke O’Nien, Sunderland’s captain from their rise from League One, makes his first start of the season while Noah Sadiki is back from Afcon. Romaine Mundle, Dennis Cirkin and Elizer Mayenda are the others to start. Wilson Isidor is back on the bench after injury.

Sunderland XI: Roefs, Hume, Mukiele, O’Nien, Cirkin, Xhaka, Sadiki, Mundle, Le Fee, Adingra, Mayenda

Subs: Patterson, Ballard, Alderete, Neil, Hjelde, Isidor, Brobbey, Rigg, Geertruida
