Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti has big team news for the fans ahead of their top of the table clash with Liverpool.

The Toffees have made a sensational 100% start to the season in the Premier League.

But now they face their toughest test, a game against their city rivals and current Premier League champions.

Allan, Andre Gomes and Seamus Coleman are back in training, while centre-backs Mason Holgate and Jarrad Branthwaite are still out.

Speaking to evertontv, Ancelotti said: "Andre Gomes is available for Saturday, no problem.

"Allan started to train with the team this week. If nothing happens in the next few days he will be available to play against Liverpool.

"I think Seamus is going to be good, too, because he started to train with us on Monday.

"Holgate and Branthwaite are working individually. Branthwaite is closer [to returning].

"They have no problems [in their recovery programmes] but we have to wait a little bit.

"[Jean-Philippe] Gbamin is working individually, he is not here [at USM Finch Farm] yet.

"I think he is going to be here in 15 days and start to work apart from the team in the beginning, and then with the team.

"At the end of the November, I think he can be fit to play."
