Everton look to end their lengthy winless streak when they make the trip to Manchester United on Saturday (12.30 GMT).
The Toffees have gone 10 Premier League matches without a victory. And while Sean Dyche's side are five points above the relegation zone, after their points deduction was reduced from 10 to six, improved results are required to ensure they are not dragged into another dogfight.
Everton suffered a 3-1 loss against West Ham United last weekend, although it was a game they created enough chances to win three points. Dyche was left frustrated at full-time but speaking at his pre-match press conference, he told of his pride he has for the players' efforts this campaign,
For the Old Trafford encounter against United, Idrissa Gana Gueye is unlikely to be available because of a groin injury while Arnaut Danjuma (ankle) and Dele remain absent. Dyche also has to weigh up whether to make any other chances from the West Ham reverse.

6. CM - Amadou Onana
Idrissa Gana Gueye netted the all-important winner against Brentford but his minutes may just be managed, having had calf issues this season. That could give a chance for Onana to impress after falling out of the XI in recent games. | Getty Images

7. CM - James Garner
Responded strongly after being subbed at half-time in the Chelsea thrashing with two eye-catching performances. That might have been the reset Garner needed having played for much of the campaign. | Getty Images

8. CM - Abdoulaye Doucoure
Been dropped into a slightly deeper role lately, which means he's not as much of a goal threat but is still dangerous on the counter. | Getty Images
