Everton's Leighton Baines (calf) and Maarten Stekelenburg (hernia) are close to returning to training but remain sidelined, along with James McCarthy (broken leg).

Crystal Palace can call upon their January striker signing Alexander Sorloth, but Wilfried Zaha (knee) has been sidelined.

Bakary Sako, Ruben Loftus-Cheek (both ankle) and Connor Wickham (knee) are all long-term absentees.
