Everton will be looking to bounce back to winning ways when they welcome Watford to Goodison Park on Saturday (15.00 BST).

The Toffees suffered a second Premier League loss of the season when suffering a narrow 1-0 loss to West Ham last Sunday.

Rafa Benitez will be looking for a reaction from his troops and face a Hornets outfit thrashed 5-0 by Liverpool in their last game.

Here’s all the key information you need to know ahead of the encounter.

What’s the team news?

Everton have had to take some tough injury news on the chin this week.

Abdoulaye Doucoure is facing more than a month on the sidelines with a stress response in his foot. The midfielder’s been one of the Blues’ best players this season.

Meanwhile, Dominic Calvert-Lewin is to remain on the sidelines for a sustained period with a quad problem.

Andre Gomes (calf) and Fabian Delph (shoulder) continue their rehab.

There is at least one bit of positive news as Richarlison prepares to return to the fold after missing the past five games with a knee complaint.

He could return to the starting line-up immediately.

Could Benitez spring a surprise?

Things are threadbare, so that is unlikely.

The dilemma for Benitez is who replaces Doucoure alongside Allan in the midle of the park.

The Spaniard will likely select between Tom Davies and Jean-Philippe Gbamin.

What about the opposition?

Former Everton striker Josh King missed last week’s 5-0 thrashing to Liverpool with a knee problem but could return.

Francisco Sierralta and Christian Kabasele (both hamstring) have been ruled out of action along with Oghenekaro Etebo.

Everton (4-4-1-1): Pickford, Coleman, Mina, Keane, Digne, Townsend, Davies, Allan, Gray, Richarlison, Rondon.

Watford (4-2-3-1): Foster, Sierralta, Rose, Troost-Ekong, Nkounkou, Sissoko Dennis, Kucka, Sarr, Tufan, Pedro.
