Team News: Three changes for Everton against Crystal Palace

Caretaker Everton manager David Unsworth has made three changes for his side's trip to Crystal Palace this afternoon.

Wayne Rooney is among the substitutes as one casualty from the 3-2 win over Watford two weeks ago, while the benched Tom Davies and absent Beni Baningime also drop out.

Aaron Lennon, Morgan Schneiderlin - back available following injury - and Ademola Lookman are the trio to take their places.

For the hosts, Christian Benteke returns to the matchday squad after seven weeks out with a knee issue but is not deemed fit enough to play from the off as Roy Hodgson opts to make one change from the loss to Tottenham Hotspur last time out.

James McArthur comes in to replace Timothy Fosu-Mensah, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek has been included despite some back trouble picked up during England duty as Palace try to drag themselves off the bottom of the table.

Crystal Palace: Speroni; Ward, Dann, Sakho, Schlupp; Milivojevic, Cabaye, McArthur, Loftus-Cheek; Townsend, Zaha Subs: Hennessey, Tomkins, Souare, Fosu-Mensah, Sako, Puncheon, Benteke

Everton: Pickford; Kenny; Baines, Keane, Jagielka; Gueye, Schneiderlin; Lennon, Lookman; Sigurdsson; Niasse Subs: Robles, Williams, Martina, Davies, Rooney, Calvert-Lewin, Ramirez
