Everton 

Everton will assess centre-backs Michael Keane (foot) and Phil Jagielka (hamstring) ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash with Burnley at Goodison Park.

Oumar Niasse, who has netted three times in his last two appearances, is set to return having missed the 2-2 Europa League draw with Apollon Limassol on Thursday as he was not included in the Toffees' squad for the group stage of the competition.
