Team news

Billy Gilmour, Christoph Zimmerman and Mathias Normann are out. Lukas Rupp and Andrew Omobamidele are also likely to miss out but Josh Sargent and Todd Cantwell are back.

Everton
Dominic Calvert-Lewin is fit but Tom Davies and Alex Iwobi are out through injury and Afcon respectively. Yerry Mina, Richarlison, Jarrad Branthwaite and Fabian Delph are all doubts while new signings Anwar El Ghazi, Nathan Patterson and Vitaliy Mykolenko could all make their Premier League debuts.

Match preview

Everton appear to have the worst of their injury crisis behind them and can pick up a vital win against strugglers Norwich.

While the Toffees have most of their stars back to full fitness, the Canaries look light in midfield with Billy Gilmour and Mathias Normann out. Everton have their preferred duo of Allan and Abdoulaye Doucoure back in the centre of the park and that could prove crucial to their chances of winning this game.

Lucas Digne departed Everton for Aston Villa this week, with Anwar El Ghazi coming the other way, and Digne's replacement Vitaliy Mykolenko looks likely to make his Premier League debut. Rafa Benitez is continuing to mould this team in his image and summer signings Demarai Gray and Andros Townsend were key in their FA Cup victory over Hull.

The Blues can do the double over a Norwich side who haven’t scored in the league since November and are now as short as 1-20 to go down.

Key stat
