Dominic Calvert-Lewin returns to Everton on Monday Night Football as a transformed striker. After a free-agent exit and injury-hit years at Everton, he joined Leeds United and has scored eight goals in his last 10 games. This remarkable revival contrasts sharply with his three-goal final season on Merseyside.

Daniel Farke's belief in Calvert-Lewin was pivotal. The Leeds coach, a former striker himself, saw a player needing a fresh challenge and provided unwavering support during a slow start. This trust has unlocked Calvert-Lewin's confidence, turning him into a key figure for a Leeds side five points clear of relegation.

An England recall now looks plausible. His goals have outpaced those of expensive summer signings like Ekitike and Gyokeres. Farke's track record of reviving strikers, from Teemu Pukki to Marcus Thuram, suggests Calvert-Lewin's career is back on track, making his return to Goodison Park a major storyline.
