Everton missing six players ahead of Brentford game

Everton are set to be without six players when they face Brentford on Saturday.

The Toffees will be competing in the fourth round of the FA Cup in what will be Frank Lampard's first game in charge, but he will be without several first-team squad members.

There is a combination of injuries and ineligibility causing problems for Lampard's debut in the dugout for the club, which is something that Rafael Benitez had been dealing with this season as well.

"Dominic Calvert-Lewin picked up a small knock in the last game [against Aston Villa], so he won't be available for this weekend," Lampard told the press.

"We know Abdoulaye Doucoure is out, as well as Fabian Delph and Tom Davies, they will be out for a slightly longer [than Calvert-Lewin]."

On top of that, Everton's two new signings Dele Alli and Donny van de Beek are both cup-tied, therefore they will not be able to play this weekend either.
