David Unsworth, the caretaker Everton manager, has one eye on Sunday's game against Watford, despite the importance of tonight's contest with Lyon.
Defeat could see the Merseyside outfit knocked out of the Europa League, making Unsworth's decision to rest players a brave move.
Wayne Rooney, Leighton Baines, Phil Jagielka and Michael Keane are not in the squad, so plenty of changes are expected on the Toffees team sheet.
