Carlo Ancelotti offers Everton fans huge boost as he reveals star striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin should be fit to START Merseyside derby but Yerry Mina will miss out against Liverpool

Carlo Ancelotti has said that star striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin should be available for Everton's huge derby clash against Liverpool on Saturday, but Yerry Mina will miss out.

Calvert-Lewin, who has been in imperious form this season, has missed the Toffees' last two matches after picking a hamstring injury in Everton's 5-4 FA Cup victory over Tottenham last week.

Speaking after Everton's 3-1 defeat to Manchester City on Wednesday, Ancelotti explained why Allan did not play in the match despite returning from injury, and revealed his optimism around Calvert-Lewin.
