3. Andre Gomes - doubt
Dyche revealed that the midfielder has had some tightness in the calf.
4. Demarai Gray - out
Dyche said that the Everton winger did not feature against Fulham because he was short of fitness and that is still the case. Reports have suggested he’s agreed personal terms with Fulham. Photo: Naomi Baker/Getty Images
