TEAM NEWS
Ronald Koeman will offer a team news update at his pre-match press conference on Thursday afternoon.
Leighton Baines has missed the last four matches for the Toffees with a hamstring problem, while Aaron Lennon was also ruled out of last weekend’s trip to Manchester City. Muhamed Besic remains on the sidelines with a long-term cruciate knee ligament injury.
For Burnley, Steven Defour is doubtful because of a hamstring complaint. The Belgium suffered the injury in last Sunday’s 3-1 defeat at St Mary’s.
Ashley Barnes is also expected to be absent.
