Everton return to Premier League action this weekend when they face Patrick Vieira's Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon.
Rafael Benitez's side were given a much-needed boost earlier this week after their win over Arsenal at Goodison Park, and will hope to build some momentum going into the busy winter period.
The win afforded Benitez a little breathing room after fans had became noticeably restless after a considerable stretch without a win in the league.

And while missing their star striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin for all but three games this season, the Blues will be buoyed by news that their number nine is getting closer to a return.
The Spaniard spoke to the media yesterday and gave a little more indication of when they expect the 24-year-old to return.
However, defender Yerry Mina has suffered a setback after his return.
Here's a round-up of Everton's injured players and when we can expect them to return.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been out since the third game of the season, after making an extremely promising start to the campaign - scoring three goals in as many games.
After missing over two months now, the striker continues in his rehabilitation and is expected to return at some point this month.
Speaking yesterday, Benitez said: "Dominic is getting closer, obviously.
"Every training session that he is doing with the rehabilitation coach, he's getting better."
Expected return: Late December
Yerry Mina
Benitez confirmed an injury blow to Yerry Mina which he sustained in his comeback against Arsenal - his first match since the beginning of October.
However, the centre-back picked up a calf problem in the first half of the match and had to be replaced - with the manager now confirming that he will be unavailable for his side's next game, without giving a full time-frame for his absence.
Expected return: Unknown
Tom Davies
The 23-year-old midfielder sustained a knee injury in Everton's 0-0 draw with Spurs in November.
In positive news, Davies is now expected to resume training next week.
Davies has made five league appearances for Benitez so far this season.
Expected return: Late December
