Whilst his impact has not been as spectacular as Newcastle's Cisse, Jelavic has found the net 8 times in twelve league games for the Toffees since arriving in January and his team will again rely on his clinical finishing on Sunday.
The Croatian was wrongly denied a goal by an offside flag last week against Wolves and with European Championship ambitions of his own, he will want to impress Croatia boss Slaven Bilic and finish the campaign with a bang.

After being named in France's preliminary squad for the European Championships, Ben Arfa will want to put on a eye-catching display for their coach Laurent Blanc.
The Frenchman's first goal for his club came in this fixture at Goodison Park last year. While providing a constant attacking threat with his pace and dribbling skills, his presence on Newcastle's right flank should also occupy Leighton Baines and reduce the threat of the Everton left-back hurting Newcastle down that side.

Newcastle responded to their 4-0 defeat at Wigan with a sensational win at Stamford Bridge and it would be hard not to back Alan Pardew to get a similar reaction out of his players following the loss to Manchester City.
With the Champions League within their grasp the visitors will hope to avoid any slip-ups in order to put the pressure firmly on Tottenham.
