Team News: Dominic Calvert-Lewin leads Everton line

Calvert-Lewin leads Everton line

Dominic Calvert-Lewin will lead the line for Everton tonight in their Europa League tie at Atalanta.

The 20-year-old comes in for Sandro Ramirez for the game, which is being held at Atalanta's Serie A rivals Sassuolo's stadium, as Toffees boss Ronald Koeman makes six changes following the 3-0 home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

Nikola Vlasic makes his full debut for the side, coming in for Davy Klaassen to join Wayne Rooney and Gylfi Sigurdsson in an advanced midfield role.

Muhamed Besic earns a recall as partner for Morgan Schneiderlin in front of the back four, while Maarten Stekelenburg replaces Jordan Pickford in goal.

Phil Jagielka is in for Ashley Williams alongside Michael Keane at centre-back, with Mason Holgate ousting Cuco Martina on the right and Leighton Baines continuing at left-back.

All six players dropped from the loss to Spurs take their places on the bench, where they are joined by Kevin Mirallas.

Koeman's Atalanta counterpart Gian Piero Gasperini makes five changes following their 2-1 victory at Sassuolo three days ago.

Skipper Alejandro Gomez is joined up front by Andrea Petagna, who scored against the Black and Greens, with Andreas Cornelius dropping to the bench.

Etrit Berisha replaces Marco Wolfli between the posts, while Jose Luis Palomino comes in for Mattia Caldara alongside Rafael Toloi and Andrea Masiello in defence.

Hans Hateboer and Remo Freuler join Bryan Cristante and Marten de Roon in midfield, with Aaron Miejers and Josep Ilicic dropping out, and Timothy Castagne will help provide service for the front two.

Atalanta BC: Berisha; Toloi, Palomino, Masiello; Hateboer, Cristante, De Roon, Freuler; Castagne; Petagna, Gomez Subs: Gollini, Orsolini, Cornelius, Caldara, Kurtic, Haas; Bastoni
