Frank Lampard needs a win, doesn't he? After all the stress and drama of the back end of last season, Everton wanted a nice, steady start to this campaign.
They came within a couple of minutes of losing a third Premier League game in a row on Saturday. They are hoping Demarai Gray's late equaliser against Nottingham Forest will be a turning point and stuff will settle down.
Lampard's gone for an experienced team to make sure that they do so. Asmir Begovic starts in goal; Reece Welch, who played in the FA Cup last year, gets his second senior appearance for the club.
There's the return of Seamus Coleman - his first appearance of the new season after injury - and Ruben Vinagre plays on the left as well, making his full debut and his first start for his new team.
Given the shortage of strikers at the club, you'd imagine they might want to wrap Salomon Rondon in cotton wool. But he needs games and leads the line tonight.
