Team News: Samuel Eto'o starts up front for Everton against FC Krasnodar

Everton make five changes for tonight's Europa League clash against FC Krasnodar, with Samuel Eto'o starting up front.

Samuel Eto'o will lead the line for Everton in Russia this evening when they take on FC Krasnodar at the Kuban Stadium in their Group H Europa League clash.

Manager Roberto Martinez has made five changes to the side that secured a late 1-1 draw with Merseyside rivals Liverpool in the Premier League last weekend.

The backline remains the same with Leighton Baines, Phil Jagielka, John Stones and Tony Hibbert all starting, but in the midfield, James McCarthy has dropped out due to a leg injury.

Darron Gibson comes into the fray alongside Gareth Barry, while Muhamed Besic has been given a spot on the bench and Leon Osman has returned to the first team.

Kevin Mirallas is absent through injury, which has provided Christian Atsu with a starting spot, while Kevin Naismith and Romelu Lukaku have dropped to the bench, with Aiden McGeady and Eto'o entering the fold.

As expected, former Wigan Athletic defender Andreas Granqvist has been named in the starting lineup for the hosts.

FC Krasnodar Dykan: Jedrzejczyk, Sigurdsson, Granqvist, Kaleshin; Gazinskiy, Izmaylov, Laborde, Ahmedov; Pereyra, Ari

Everton Howard; Hibbert, Stones, Jagielka, Baines; Gibson, Barry; Atsu, Osamn, McGeady; Eto'o
