Anthony Gordon and Niels Nkounkou are expected to be in the Everton starting line up.
Forward Anthony Gordon, made his Premier League debut against West Ham, coming on at the half and playing the whole second half. He made his first start in the cauldron of a Merseyside Derby in the first match after the Coronavirus-enforced break, The boyhood Blue played 60 minutes in the 0-0 draw at Goodison Park. His performance earned him a new 5-year-contract keeping him at Everton until 2025.
Anthony Gordon praised both Ancelotti and coach Duncan Ferguson in helping his development, he told the club’s website:
"Duncan has been massive for me since I have come up to the First Team. He is a person I can rely on to bounce things off. I couldn’t say enough about him and what he is doing for me. And Mr Ancelotti has been massive for me. We have a good relationship. He tests me every day and doesn’t allow me to be comfortable. That is making me strive to be better every day and never reach the point where I think, ‘I am here, I am comfortable’. His presence around the place is always testing me and keeping me on my toes."
Anthony Gordon finished the season with 11 appearances with the first team, mostly on the left and finished with 1 assist. Ancelotti will likely retain the 4-3-3 that worked so well against Spurs with Gordon occupying the left-side of the front 3. There are a couple of other youngsters who could see time, either as a starter or from the bench.
