Team News: Ronald Koeman makes three changes for Europa League qualifying tie

Koeman makes three changes for Europa tie

Ronald Koeman has made three changes to Everton's starting lineup for the Europa League qualifying clash against Hajduk Split at Goodison Park.

The Toffees revert to a four-man defence for tonight's first-leg tie, as they attempt to pick up a positive result to take with them to Croatia for next week's return match.

Kevin Mirallas, Ademola Lookman and Cuco Martina are all brought into the fold, replacing Sandro Ramirez, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Phil Jagielka.

There is another start up top for Wayne Rooney, fresh on the back of scoring the only goal of the game against Stoke City in his first league game back at the club, while Davy Klaassen will provide support alongside Mirallas and Lookman in attack.

Hajduk, who drew 0-0 with Brondby in their last European away game, will this evening by led by Cameroonian forward Franck Ohandza.

Everton: Pickford; Martina, Keane, Williams, Baines; Schneiderlin, Gueye; Mirallas, Klaassen, Lookman; Rooney Subs: Stekelenburg, Jagielka, Lennon, Besic, Calvert-Lewin, Davies, Holgate

Hajduk Split: Stipica, Memolla, Carbonieri, Nizic, Juranovic, Kozulj, Radosovic, Gentsoglou, Barry, Ohandza, Vlasic Subs: Bosancic, Said, Letica, Basic, Sehic, Tudor, Erceg
