David Moyes could make a few changes from the Everton side that disappointingly drew 1-1 with Blackburn at the weekend. Royston Drenthe is in line to return to the starting XI, while Jack Rodwell could overcome a hamstring strain in time to feature.
 
Ireland Under-21 international Shane Duffy is also set to deputize in central defense once again, with Sylvain Distin and Phil Jagielka both out injured. Leon Osman is out due to a knee problem.
 
Fulham is likely to retain most of the side that hammered in-form Newcastle United 5-2 at the weekend, but Moussa Dembele and Dickson Etuhu could return from respective injuries, with Steve Sidwell also facing a race to be fit.
 
Mark Schwarzer is still a week or two away from returning to action, while Zdenek Grygera remains the only long-term absentee for Martin Jol.
