Everton boss Ancelotti expecting big things from Calvert-Lewin

Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti is convinced of big things from Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Ancelotti says that Calvert-Lewin, Everton's match-winner in his first game in charge against Burnley on Thursday, will be central to his plans to revive fortunes at Goodison Park.

"He is a fantastic striker," said Ancelotti, who believes the 22-year-old forward can improve. "I want him to play more central."

He acknowledged there will be a "100 per cent" difference in atmosphere on Saturday playing in front of a highly-partisan crowd of 50,000 at Newcastle.

"It will be tough," he said.
