Aston Villa vs Everton: What the Lions must do to beat the Toffees

Everton team news for Aston Villa as Jack Harrison set for debut in system change

Dyche has made a number of changes for the clash at Villa Park in the Carabao Cup

Jack Harrison makes his first start for Everton amid a strong Sean Dyche side for the Carabao Cup clash at Aston Villa.

The winger is yet to appear in a senior matchday squad having arrived with a long-term injury. His recovery led to him appearing for the Under-21s last week and he is now considered ready for exposure in the first team

Harrison will be looking to supply Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who makes his first start since the facial injury he suffered at Villa Park in the league match earlier this season.

Jordan Pickford, James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite also feature as Everton look to avenge that 4-0 defeat.
