Team News

Sam Allardyce continues to be without center back Ramiro Funes Mori, right back Seamus Coleman, and winger Yannick Bolasie due to injuries. Attacking midfielder Ross Barkley has said he is close to a return, so that could be anytime now.

Key Man

Another game, another goal for Wayne Rooney. The Englishman has got to be loving playing for the one-time England international manager due to the increase in form he has enjoyed of late. He might not look like quite the player of old, but this Rooney right here is something to get excited about and can lead them well inside the top half with his play. He now has eight goals on the season after scoring in the win over the Magpies.

Team Form

Everton have four wins and a draw in their last five matches:

0-1 win at Newcastle
1-1 draw at Liverpool
0-3 win at Apollon (UEL)
2-0 home win vs Huddersfield
4-0 home win vs West Ham

Everton Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-2-3-1

Everton likely XI

  • Defenders:Kenny, Holgate, Williams, Martina

  • Defensive Midfielders:Gueye, Schneiderlin

  • Attacking Midfielders:Lennon, Rooney, Sigurdsson

  • Forwards:Calvert-Lewin

Team News

Paul Clement has no injuries to account, save for the one to their psyche after a bad loss at home to Manchester City on Wednesday night.

Key Man

It was not a pretty result against City on Wednesday night, but it could have been much, much worse for them had their goalkeeper not bailed them out on a number of occasions. But luckily Lukasz Fabianski was at his best to deny the Citizens from breaking another record. The Polish international is very capable in net, but he may have to produce a similar performance here if they are to stand a chance against an in-form Toffees side.

Team Form

Swansea have three losses, a win, and a draw in their last five matches:

0-4 home loss vs Manchester City
1-0 home win vs West Brom
2-1 loss at Stoke
1-0 loss at Chelsea
0-0 home draw vs Bournemouth

Swansea Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-3-3

Swansea likely XI

  • Goalkeeper:Fabianski

  • Defenders:Naughton, van der Hoorn, Mawson, Olsson

  • Midfielders:Ki, Mesa, Carroll

  • Forwards:Dyer, Ayew, Bony

Everton have improved a great deal since they took on a permanent manager, and that has seen them soar into the top half of the table as a result. It doesn't take very much to get away from relegation battles, but Swansea City are having another hard time with it. Because of that, it's hard to see them winning on Merseyside.
After getting four points from their opening two away fixtures, Swansea have lost five in a row ahead of this trip to Everton.
