Good evening and welcome to the LIVE text commentary of the Europa League clash between Everton and Lyon. Under pressure Toffees boss Ronald Koeman has picked up only a single point from two Group E matches and could do really do with a victory this evening.

With some tough fixtures on the horizon, Koeman names a rather experimental eleven, and you have to say that is quite risky given his precarious position. The Dutchman hasn not tasted victory in October, and his team are in grave danger of slipping out of Europe at the group stages. Things aren't any brighter domestically, with Everton languishing towards the bottom of the table; only two points separate them from the bottom three.

Kevin Mirallas is handed a rare start with the inconsistent Belgian given an opportunity to impress in attack.

There is no Wayne Rooney for Everton this evening, the former England skipper isn't even named amongst the substitutes. Davy Klaassen is preferred over Gylfi Sigurdsson who is left on the bench.

There are also changes in defence, with Ashley Williams and Cuco Martina taking the places of Phil Jagielka and Leighton Baines.

Starting XI: Lopes, Diakhaby, Marcelo, Marcal, Tete, Aouar, Traore, Depay, Fekir, Tousart, Maolida.

Subs: Gorgelin, Yanga-Mbiwa, Rafael, Ferri, NDombele, Owusu, Cornet.

Starting XI: Pickford, Keane, Williams, Martina, Holgate, Schneiderlin, Mirallas, Klaassen, Davies, Vlasic, Calvert-Lewin

Subs: Stekelenburg, Baines, Gueye, Sigurdsson, Besic, Ramirez, Lookman
