For Norwich, Wes Hoolahan is back after a knee problem, but Matt Jarvis is sidelined.
FORMNorwich City have found life in the Premier League tough this season, having secured just three league victories so far.
The Canaries are currently placed 16th in the league standings with 13 points but will take confidence from their last two results at Carrow Road.
Their last outing at home was a creditable 1-1 draw with Arsenal but Alex Neil’s side suffered a 2-0 defeat to Watford at Vicarage Road last weekend.
Meanwhile, Everton are unbeaten in their last seven fixtures in all competitions and will be looking for all three points at Norwich having drawn their last two Premier League fixtures on the road.
LAST MEETING: Everton 1-1 Norwich City (AET Everton win 4-3 on penalties), Tuesday 27 October.
These two sides met not so long ago at Goodison Park in a tight affair just edged by the Blues, with Roberto Martinez’s side progressing to the quarter-finals of the Capital One Cup.
Leon Osman got the Toffees back on level terms deep into the second half after Sebastian Bassong had put the visitors in front just after the break.
The tie then went into extra-time and after a goalless half hour the winners of the clash would be decided on penalties.
Everton scored all four of their spot-kicks as Joel Robles saved one effort from Wes Hoolahan and Lewis Grabben missed a vital fifth as the Blues secured their place in the last eight of the competition.
Robbie Brady joined from Hull City during the summer of 2015, signing a three-year deal at Carrow Road.
The Republic of Ireland international came through the youth ranks at Manchester United, where he made a solitary League Cup appearance for the Red Devils either side of a pair of successful loan spells at the Tigers.
The winger then completed a permanent switch to the KC Stadium in January 2013, where he helped the Club secure promotion to the Premier League before making 43 top-flight appearances across two seasons.
The 23-year-old has been an ever-present in Alex Neil’s side this campaign, making 15 appearances and providing one assist and a goal, while Brady was the star performer in the recent 1-1 draw against Arsenal.
