Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is hopeful that forward Diogo Jota, who has been missing for three months with a calf injury, will come back into contention.
This game may come too soon for Roberto Firmino, Virgil van Dijk and Arthur.
Fabinho could return from illness but Thiago is doubtful with a hip issue and Luis Diaz and Ibrahima Konate miss out.
Everton team news:
“There’s been a lot of detail going into this week, a lot of planning going into this week, but the players are aware – we’ve got to go again, and that’s going to be the constant mentality throughout the rest of the season.” 👊 #LIVEVEhttps://t.co/3ZYUKFYEVf pic.twitter.com/VCqIIvvwOX
