Everton team news

The striker has missed the Toffees' past two games with an adductor issue.

But Calvert-Lewin was due to return to full training yesterday and will travel to the capital if he comes through unscathed.

The England international has managed just eight appearances this season.

Andre Gomes has been absent for the previous three games with a thigh complaint. He's back training and likely to be in the squad.

After recently recovering from a hip injury, Demarai Gray missed the the 2-0 FA Cup fifth-round victory over Boreham Wood in midweek.

The winger had a fever when he was set to feature for Everton.

You would suspect that Gray will be OK to be involved in some capacity.

Meanwhile, Donny van de Beek, Dele Alli and Anwar El Ghazi were all cup-tied against the Wood and are again available.

Godfrey is due to return to full training after the Spurs game.
