Ninth-placed Everton are targeting a fifth victory in seven matches as they bid to stay in the hunt for a seventh-place finish and possible European qualification.

Burnley are aiming to return to winning ways after a draw against top-four contenders Chelsea and a defeat by leaders Manchester City.

Team news 

Yerry Mina and Theo Walcott have returned to full training and are in contention to play.

But Everton remain without Andre Gomes, who completes a three-match suspension.

Peter Crouch is back in training following appendix surgery and could return to the Burnley squad along with Phil Bardsley, who has recovered from a gashed leg. 

Robbie Brady is available following the birth of his child but Aaron Lennon (knee) is unlikely to play again this season. Steven Defour (calf) is a long-term absentee.
