Marco Silva is expected to make two changes to his Everton starting line-up when the Merseysiders travel to Bournemouth for their next Premier League clash on Saturday.

Mason Holgate, who started in the 2-1 win over Southampton last week, could be axed for the trip to the Vitality Stadium, with summer signing Kurt Zouma likely to earn his debut for the Toffees.

After a strong start to the season, Silva is not likely to tinker with his side too much but given the fact that £2million-a-year (Spotrac) Zouma was on the bench last week, he is probably in the running to start down on the south coast against Bournemouth.

However Silva will more than likely be forced into another change after Morgan Schneiderlin picked up an injury against Southampton, and Tom Davies could take his place.

Jordan Pickford is expected to remain in goals behind a back four of Seamus Coleman, Michael Keane, Zouma and Leigthon Baines.

Idrissa Gueye could partner Davies in the deeper-lying midfield positions with Gylfi Sigurdsson ahead of them in the No 10 role.

After scoring three goals in his first two appearances for Everton, Richarlison is pretty much nailed on to start on the left-wing with January signings Theo Walcott on the right and Cenk Tosun up front to complete the 11.
