Everton v Norwich
Ross Barkley: Has a swollen toe in his right foot
Everton will be looking to keep the pressure on their top-four rivals when they welcome Norwich to Goodison Park.
The Merseysiders are flying high under manager Roberto Martinez and lie in fifth place in the Premier League table, having won six of their 10 home games so far this season, drawing three and losing one.
That sole defeat was a shock 1-0 loss to struggling Sunderland - but they quickly bounced back with a 2-1 victory over visiting Southampton at the end of December.
They picked up a hard-earned point from a 1-1 draw at Stoke before keeping their FA Cup hopes alive with a 4-0 drubbing of Harry Redknapp's QPR in their last run-out, so confidence levels will be high in the Everton camp.
Chris Hughton's Canaries, who are just three points above the relegation zone, arrive on Merseyside having steadied the ship following back-to-back league defeats to Fulham and Manchester United.
They have drawn their last two games 1-1, against relegation rivals Crystal Palace in the league and Fulham in the FA Cup, so will be looking to keep things tight against the Toffees.
The omens are fairly good for the visitors as Everton are without a win in five Premier League meetings with Norwich, while Chris Hughton is unbeaten in five league clashes against the Blues, winning twice.
MATCH FACTS
Everton are without a win in five Premier League meetings with Norwich (D4, L1).
However, they are unbeaten in the last six league and cup meetings at Goodison Park (W4, D2) since a 5-1 Premier League victory for Norwich in September 1993.
Everton
Everton are five points and one place better off than at the same stage last season.
The Toffees already have two points more than Roberto Martinez's Wigan accrued throughout the whole of last season.
They have earned 39 points out of the last possible 48 at Goodison Park, with their only home defeat in that run coming against Sunderland on Boxing Day (W12, D3, L1).
Everton have kept eight clean sheets this season; only Arsenal (9) have registered more.
Martinez's side have won eight points with goals scored in the 80th minute or later this season; the most in the Premier League.
Everton have been on target with 50% of their shots so far this season. Only Arsenal (52.3%) have a better record.
Norwich
The Canaries have gone five league games without a win, earning just three points in that time.
However, they are unbeaten in their last three away matches (W1, D2), having lost the previous four.
Norwich earned 12 away points in 2013, the third-worst record in the top flight behind Stoke (10) and West Ham (11).
They have conceded 33 goals in their 20 league fixtures; only Fulham have a worse defensive record.
Gary Hooper has scored five goals in his last 10 Premier League appearances; Norwich have only scored 11 times in total in this run.
