It is great news for Everton fans, after Ancelotti has evidently struggling with selection over the last two weeks.

With Abdoulaye Doucoure still sidelined, the likes of Allan and Gomes returning is huge for the clubs midfield options.

Not only that, but Josh King’s return eases the burden on Richarlison with Dominic Calvert-Lewin still injured.

Pickford’s recovery should also be a huge boost – the Englishman was enjoying a good run of form prior to his injury.

With the game against [Tottenham](https://www.skysports.com/football/everton-vs-tottenham-hotspur/429150) tonight of huge importance in the battle for a European spot, having as strong a squad as possible is a must.
