Under-pressure manager Roberto Martinez has made six changes to his Everton side for the visit of Bournemouth this afternoon.

Tim Howard makes his first start between the sticks since January as Joel Robles drops to the bench, while youngster Matthew Pennington makes his debut in the back four alongside Muhamed Besic for the suspended Ramiro Funes Mori and Bryan Oviedo, who starts among the substitutes.

Romelu Lukaku is also on the bench as Martinez picks Oumar Niasse to lead the line after the 4-0 drubbing at Liverpool last time out in the league.
