Bolton Wanderers make the trip to Everton FC in good heart having put some daylight between themselves and the relegation zone over the last few weeks.
Wanderers beat Wigan last week 4-0, their biggest league victory of the season.
Owen Coyle’s men have failed to score on their last three visits to Goodison - losing on each occasion - since winning 4-0 there in December 2005, but a late Ivan Klasnic strike gave them a 3-2 victory in the reverse fixture back in October.
Bolton have Sam Ricketts available again after serving a one-match ban for his red card at Sunderland while Gary Cahill could make a surprise return.
Owen Coyle is mulling over whether to include Cahill after the England World Cup hopeful made a speedy recovery from a blood clot.
But Andy O'Brien is expected to keep his place after coming in for Ricketts against Wigan and helping Bolton keep a clean sheet. Midfielder Mark Davies is also in contention after an ankle injury.
Possible starting XIs
Everton: Howard, Neville, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Cahill, Heitinga, Arteta, Pienaar, Anichebe, Yakubu.
Bolton: Jaaskelainen, Steinsson, Knight, A O'Brien, Robinson, Lee, Muamba, Cohen, Wilshere, K. Davies, Elmander.
