Everton are back in Premier League action when they welcome Aston Villa to Goodison Park (14.00 GMT).
The Toffees sit above the relegation zone only on goal difference, having been hit by a 10-point deduction for breaching financial rules. And although that has been appealed, Sean Dyche and his coaching staff will be very much planning for the worst and that the punishment is not reduced.
With Everton not winning in their past five games, it's imperative they find the results to get them out of their current predicament. After a 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup, the Blues have had a 10-day break between games to refresh. However, they'll be without key winger Dwight McNeil because of an ankle injury while Idrissa Gana Gueye (AFCON), Ashley Young (hamstring) and Dele (hip) are absent.
They also face a Villa side who are this season's surprise package and have a chance to move joint-top of the Premier League if they are victorious.
Dyche has plenty to weigh up when it comes to selecting his team. With all that in mind, here's the Everton line-up predicted to face Villa.
1. GK - Jordan Pickford
England's No.1 is aiming for a 13th clean sheet this season to keep the pressure on in the race for the Golden Glove.
2. RB - Ben Godfrey
Kept his discipline superbly in the past two games. Enjoyed much more game time in the second half of the campaign.
3. CB - James Tarkowski
Everton's vice-captain missed training earlier this week for the birth of his child but is expected to be involved.
4. CB - Jarrad Branthwaite
The 21-year-old's reputation enhances every game that he plays. Primed to sweep up at the club's end-of-season awards.
