Here is the Everton predicted lineup vs Rotherham United.

Everton returns to action after New Year’s Day defeat to West Ham United in the Premier League, crashing their hopes to go second in the league. Now is not the time to sulk about the loss but to turn the attention towards the FA Cup. Everton are set to take on Championship strugglers Rotherham United.

Carlo Ancelotti has rested the likes of Richarlison, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Jordan Pickford whereas Jonjoe Kenny, Fabian Delph, Allan and Jean-Philippe Gbamin remain unavailable. Miraculously, Lucas Digne has been deemed fit by the medical team and is in contention, making a return weeks ahead of his schedule.

Ancelotti is expected to rotate his squad and give youngsters like Anthony Gordon and Jarrad Branthwaite starts. The manager has stated that Cenk Tosun will spearhead the attack. Here is the Everton predicted lineup:

Goalkeeper: Robin Olsen

Pickford is going to be rested meaning Olsen is likely to get his fourth Everton start. There is little to no possibility of Jonas Lossl starting which makes Olsen the only choice. The Swedish international is in good nick and has produced some commendable performances in an Everton shirt.
