Everton travel to already relegated Watford in the Premier League on Wednesday night hoping to further ease their own survival concerns by recording a third consecutive win following huge recent results against Chelsea and Leicester.

After months of struggling in variants of 4-3-3 and 4-2-2, Frank Lampard has switched things up to a 3-4-3 system for those two wins and something is clearly working.

GK: Jordan Pickford - His last two Premier League clean sheets have come against Chelsea and Manchester United. He has six in the league for the season overall.CB: Seamus Coleman - Moved infield to an auxiliary centre-back role as part of this recent tactical shift and it has made Everton more resilient.CB: Michael Keane - Being part of a three at the back gives him extra protection, having been left exposed far too often this season.CB: Mason Holgate - Scored against Leicester last time out and looks set to start his fourth consecutive game, with Yerry Mina and Ben Godfrey unavailable.RWB: Alex Iwobi - Not his natural role but it is where he has played for the last two wins and also yielded an assist against Leicester.CM: Fabian Delph - Getting the nod over Allan at the moment, although he was replaced by the Brazilian in the latter stages on Sunday.CM: Abdoulaye Doucoure - His energy and ball-carrying ability will be a huge asset in this game against his former club.LWB: Vitaliy Mykolenko - Withdrawn against Leicester last time out, but it was put down to cramp and nothing more serious.RF: Anthony Gordon - Has earned his place as a regular starter this season and will see this as an opportunity to add more goals to his tally.ST: Richarlison - Continues to be favoured as the lone striker ahead of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who hasn't been the same player since fracturing his toe in the early weeks of the season.LF: Demarai Gray - Hasn't been anywhere near as impactful in the second half of the campaign but the game-winning assist against Chelsea was a step back in the right direction.
