Team News: Romelu Lukaku returns for Lille visit

Romelu Lukaku returns for Lille visit

Romelu Lukaku has been named in Everton's starting lineup for their Europa League meeting with Lille at Goodison Park tonight.

The Belgian dropped to the bench for Saturday's stalemate with Swansea City, but the hitman returns to the fold this evening in place of Samuel Eto'o.

Elsewhere, Leon Osman, who signed a one-year contract extension with the Toffees earlier today, will hope to celebrate that with a goal after replacing Ross Barkley in the first XI.

Sylvain Distin and Tony Hibbert come into defence to replace Seamus Coleman and Antolin Alcaraz in four changes in total from the 0-0 draw with the Swans.

Everton XI: Howard; Hibbert, Baines, Jagielka, Distin; Barry, McCarthy, Osman, Naismith, McGeady; Lukaku

Lille XI: Enyeama; Corchia, Balmont, Gueye, Frey; Kjaer, Mendes, Souare, Mavuba; Basa, Origi
