TEAM NEWSEverton's defence has been boosted by the return to fitness of Ramiro Funes Mori, Phil Jagielka and Leighton Baines.
Ashley Williams misses out through suspension as he begins a three-match ban, while James McCarthy and Eliaquim Mangala are long-term absentees.
Brighton boss Chris Hughton expects Argentinian right-back Ezequiel Schelotto to be fit to play - the Argentinian was taken off midway through the second half in the Seagulls' win over Arsenal last Sunday after a collision with Saed Kolasinac.

One to watch: Pascal Gross
The German attacking midfielder has been a revelation since signing from Ingolstadt 04 for a reported £3m last summer.
He has scored or assisted 13 of Brighton’s 28 goals this season, which equates to 46% of Albion’s total.
Gross’s link-up play with veteran striker Glenn Murray has been particularly profitable, with the German setting up four goals for the veteran striker this season.
Cesar Azpilicueta has assisted Alvaro Morata six times and Kevin De Bruyne has set up Sergio Aguero on five occasions – the only two partnerships in the top-flight which have been more fruitful.
