Kevin Mirallas is expected to recover from a knock picked up against Watford but Everton will be without Leighton Baines who will miss 12-14 weeks following ankle surgery. Ronald Koeman is missing Jordy Clasie after the midfielder injured his ankle playing for the Under-21s while the defender Steven Caulker has a sinus infection. Jay Rodriguez should be available though after playing 65 minutes at Newcastle last Sunday. Sam Robinson
