Everton v Leeds United team news: Rodrigo stays on bench with Whites unchanged

Rodrrigo returned following his isolation after testing positive for coronavirus as a second-half substitute in last weekend's goalless draw at home to Arsenal.

But the Spaniard is once again on the bench for Saturday's clash against the Toffees for which both the Whites team and bench is unchanged.

That means fellow summer recruit Raphinha making his first start away from home with Gjanni Alioski also keeping his place after his display against the Gunners.

Diego Llorente (groin), Pablo Hernandez (muscle) and Jamie Shackleton (quad) remain out along with long term absentee Adam Forshaw (hip).

Everton's first choice full-backs Lucas Digne (ankle) and Seamus Coleman (hamstring) are both injured for the hosts.

Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti has made two changes to his side with Mason Holgate and Tom Davies replacing Digne and Yerry Mina who is on the bench.

Holgate also captains the side.

Everton: Pickford, Holgate, Keane, Godfrey, Allan, Davies, Doucoure, Iwobi, Rodriguez, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin. Subs: Lossl, Delph, Sigurdson, Mina, Tosun, Bernard, Gomes.

Leeds United: Meslier, Ayling, Koch, Cooper, Dallas, Phillips, Klich, Raphinha, Alioski, Harrison, Bamford. Subs: Casilla, Struijk, Davis, Rodrigo, Costa, Roberts, Poveda.
