CALVERT-LEWIN IN LINE FOR EVERTON START

Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is in line to make his first start for the Toffees since his return from the hamstring injury that made him miss two Premier League games this month. The Everton player sustained the hamstring injury during the FA Cup fifth round clash with North London giants Tottenham Hotspur at home. He was one of the goalscorers as Everton beat Spurs 5-4 at the end of extra time to progress into the quarterfinals. Everton came out on the right side of the nine-goal thriller at home to Jose Mourinho’s men. Everton will now face in-form Manchester City next month in the FA Cup quarterfinals at home to determine who will go through to the semis. Manchester City are a difficult opponent at the moment as they have won 19 games on the bounce in all competitions. Manchester City have won their last 13 games in the Premier League.

The hamstring injury sustained by Dominic Calvert-Lewin forced him to miss the games against Fulham at home and Manchester City at home in the Premier League. The two games ended in defeat for the Toffees. Everton were toothless in attack without Dominic Calvert-Lewin as they were beaten 2-0 at home by Fulham, who are in the relegation zone on the league standings. Fulham striker Josh Maja was the hero for the away team. The Nigerian striker scored the two goals to lead his new team to the first league victory in months. He signed for Fulham during the January transfer window as a loan player from Bordeaux in the French top flight. Everton were much improved in their home game with Manchester City but they were beaten 3-1 by the Citizens. Phil Foden, RiyadMahrez and Bernardo Silva were all on target for the away team, while Everton attacker Richarlison briefly restored parity for the hosts in the first half after the opener from Foden.Mahrez and Silva scored in the second half to take the game away from Everton.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin returned to the Everton squad for the Merseyside Derby clash at Liverpool last weekend. He came off the bench to win the penalty that sealed a 2-0 win over Liverpool to give his team the first win at Anfield for over 22 years. He is in line to make a first start when Everton host Southampton on Monday night in their next league game.
