Scott Parker’s pre-match comments
“I like Everton. Good side. A brilliant coaching in David [Moyes] and a good team.
“You can see players coming back now as well. Last time we played them, obviously they were a little bit more depleted down to injuries and players being away of AFCON.
“They've made some acute signings in the summer with some real good players and they're picking up some really good results, one being only the weekend, obviously, going away to Newcastle and getting three points there.
“It’s a new stadium as well, one that I’ve not been to yet, so that will be a different experience.
“But we're up against a huge challenge here, of course, we are. But as always, we're looking forward to that challenge and we're looking to try and take this head-on.”

Everton: Pickford, O’Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Gueye, Garner, Dewsbury-Hall, McNeil, Ndiaye, Beto
