Everton Team News: Big Sam Hoping For Injury Boost Ahead Of Liverpool Derby Clash

Everton take on arch-rivals Liverpool at Goodison Park on Saturday in the Merseyside derby.

The Toffees will be looking to end their longest winless run against the Reds as they have now won since October 2010.

The home side have gone 16 games without a win which tops the 15 game winless streak between 1972 and 1978.

Everton manager Sam Allardyce will be hoping for good news on the injury front as Idrissa Gana Gueye is in contention to return.

Gana has been out for two weeks with a muscle problem but could make his return in the derby.

Gylfi Sigurdsson will not be able to recover in time but Allardyce does believe the Iceland international could return before the end of the season.

Everton will also be without James McCarthy, on-loan defender Eliaquim Mangala, Sigurdsson and Mason Holgate to medium or long-term injury.

Allardyce will have star striker Cenk Tosun available.

The Turkey international has four goals in his last four games and could play an important role if Everton are to topple Liverpool.

Tosun had an impressive record in derby games back in Turkey, scoring in his most recent one in the 3-0 win over Galatasaray.

Liverpool could be tired heading into the clash after facing Manchester City in the Champions League mid-week.

The Reds will also have one eye on the return-leg on Tuesday heading into the derby.
