Team News: Six debutants for Watford against Everton at Goodison Park

Six debutants for Watford against Everton

New Watford boss Quique Flores has handed debuts to six of his side's summer signings for their Premier League opener against Everton at Goodison Park.

The Hornets have given starts to Allan Nyom, Sebastian Prodl, Jose Holebas, Etienne Capoue, Valon Behrami and Jose Manuel Jurado for the clash against the Toffees. Skipper Troy Deeney is expected to lead the line on his own for Flores's men.

Leighton Baines has not been deemed fit enough to start following his ankle injury over the course of the summer, Brendan Galloway deputises for him at full-back.

Tom Cleverley makes his debut for Roberto Martinez's men in the heart of their midfield alongside Gareth Barry and James McCarthy, while Ross Barkley and Kevin Mirallas support Romelu Lukaku in attack.

Everton: Howard; Galloway, Jagielka, Stones, Coleman; Barry, McCarthy, Cleverley, Barkley, Mirallas; Lukaku Subs: Robles, Oviedo, Kone, Naismith, Osman, Browning, McAleny

Watford: Gomes; Nyom, Cathcart, Prodl, Holebas; Capoue, Behrami, Anya, Jurado, Layun; Deeney Subs: Gilmartin, Angella, Paredes, Pudil, Watson, Ighalo, Vydra.
