Everton take on Stoke City at the Bet365 Stadium hoping to win just their second away game of the season.
Big Sam has been so concerned about the Toffees away form that he has brought in psychological help for his players. Perhaps away-a-phobia is a real thing.
Now we are not certain whether seeing a psychologist will help but having Theo Walcott sure could.
Walcott is fit to face the Potters after missing last week’s win over Brighton with cramp.
The bad news for Sam Allardyce is Gylfi Sigurdsson being ruled out for several weeks with a knee injury.
Midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye has returned from fitness and makes the squad.
Defender Ashley Williams is out suspended and will serve the second of his three-match ban.
Everton really benefited from the return of Leighton Baines who has made the squad again.
Cenk Tosun will surely be happy with Baines’ return as he was finally given some quality delivery against Brighton.
Tosun ended up scoring his second goal in as many games. As I have said more times than I care to remember, the former Besiktas man will score if the service is there. He is a lethal player in the box. Could he make it three in three? we shall all find out later today.
