Matty Cash returned to Aston Villa’s starting line-up to face Everton at Goodison Park (ko 8pm).

The right-back missed last weekend’s 2-2 draw against West Bromwich Albion as he served a one-match suspension.

Cash’s recall was Dean Smith’s only change as the Villa head coach kept faith with an otherwise unchanged XI.

Ahmed Elmohamady was named among the substitutes, alongside fit-again Wesley, who continues to step up his recovery having made his first-team comeback with a late appearance off the bench against the Baggies.



Everton: Pickford, Holgate, Godfrey, Coleman, Digne, Richarlison, Iwobi, Allan, Gomes, Sigurdsson, Calvert-Lewin.

Subs: Olsen, Virginia, Nkounkou, Keane, King, Mina, Davies, Delph, Bernard.

Aston Villa: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Targett, Luiz, McGinn, Traoré, Barkley, El Ghazi, Watkins.

Subs: Heaton, Taylor, Elmohamady, Hause, Nakamba, J Ramsey, Philogene-Bidace, Davis, Wesley.
