Everton will look to pick up where they left off at the weekend when travelling to Preston on Wednesday night in the EFL Cup.
The Toffees ran out comfortable 2-0 winners against Crystal Palace in the weekend and should be confident of securing their passage in the third round of the EFL Cup.
While there was initially speculation that Everton could occupy the away end at Goodison Park for Wednesday's tie, Deepdale is now back in use, and Toffees fans will make the journey up to Preston instead.
Everton boss David Moyes has made repeated calls to strengthen his playing squad over the summer; as such, the former Preston manager doesn't have too many rotation options to call upon.
Tim Iroegbunam and Christian Norgaard will miss out, while James Garner will hope to secure more minutes from the bench on Wednesday.
Beto, Brennan Johnson and Carlos Alcaraz all came off the bench on Saturday and will hope to selected from the start against Preston, with Thierno Barry, Iliman Ndiaye and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall most likely to make way.
Tyler Dibling should be handed a start with Tyrique George potentially dropping out.
Nathan Patterson, who has struggled for game time under Moyes, may be handed a rare start in place of Merlin Rohl, while Michael Keane should come in for Jarrad Branthwaite. Jake O'Brien is being linked with a move away but may come in for James Tarkowski.
