Team News: Michael Keane out for Everton, Oumar Niasse on bench

Michael Keane misses out as Everton host Bournemouth this afternoon.

Ronald Koeman has made three changes to his Everton side as they host Bournemouth this afternoon.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, fresh from scoring twice against Sunderland in the EFL Cup in midweek, is handed his first league start in a month, while Davy Klaassen and Mason Holgate are also involved from the off.

Tom Davies, Phil Jagielka and Michael Keane are the three starters from the 4-0 loss to Manchester United to make way.

Wayne Rooney, who pleaded guilty to drink-driving earlier this week, retains his place in attack, while out-of-favour Oumar Niasse is among the substitutes.

The visitors also show three changes from their last league outing, a 2-1 over Brighton & Hove Albion last Friday.

Junior Stanislas is handed his first league appearance of the campaign after featuring in the EFL Cup win over the Seagulls in midweek, with Dan Gosling and Jordon Ibe the others to come into the XI.

Harry Arter is absent from the squad, while Ryan Fraser and Marc Pugh drop to the bench.

Eddie Howe is unable to call on the services of Tyrone Mings as the defender has been ruled out for at least a month due to a back injury.

Everton: Pickford; Martina, Holgate, Williams, Baines; Schneiderlin, Gueye, Klaassen; Rooney, Sigurdsson, Calvert-Lewin
Subs: Stekelenburg, Sandro Ramirez, Niasse, Davies, Vlasic, Lookman, Kenny
