Sean Dyche has rolled the die at Everton and chosen Beto to lead the line to face Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.
Dyche will travel to Old Trafford [1 December] to face new Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim in another must-win clash as speculation regarding his future on Merseyside persists.
The Blues confirmed Beto will be in the starting lineup via X in what was their only change, with three points an absolute necessity after missing a golden opportunity to return to winning ways in the 0-0 draw against 10-man Brentford.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has only found the back of the net twice in his last 12 Premier League appearances and has ultimately paid the price in the only change made to the side.
Beto leads the line for Everton v Manchester United
The Blues will embark on a daunting Premier League fixture run heading into the New Year against Manchester United, which is perhaps the easiest opponent for Dyche to get three points on the board.

Amorim hardly had a debut to remember, drawing 1-1 away from home against newly-promoted Ipswich Town, and the Blues could take advantage of a side dealing with teething problems at Old Trafford.
Therefore, Beto is the perfect change Dyche could have enacted upon his side – the 26-year-old has already proven this season that he can step up when his side needs him the most.
The Toffees are set up to be defensively resilient at Old Trafford with the strongest defensive unit selected to start, barring Seamus Coleman and, the attack should now have a new lease of life with Beto as the focal point.
Everton have the “knowhow” to retain their top flight status ahead of a fourth consecutive relegation battle, and clashes such as this are where the players need to step up and prove it.
