Everton Team News For Palace Meeting

Abdoulaye Doucoure could return for Everton's clash with Crystal Palace on Monday night (8pm GMT).

The Blues will be looking to extend their unbeaten record against Palace this season when the south Londoners head to Goodison Park, having already faced them once in the Premier League and twice in the FA Cup earlier in the campaign.

Doucoure, who has missed the past five matches with a hamstring issue, has now resumed training at Finch Farm and, speaking in Saturday's pre-match press conference, Sean Dyche says he "has got a chance and is back in the thinking" ahead of the visit of Palace.

Amadou Onana and Seamus Coleman are in contention for a place in the starting line-up this weekend, with both having returned from injury with substitute appearances at Manchester City last time out.

"They [Onana and Coleman] are certainly back in the thinking," said Dyche, when asked if the duo would be ready to start a match. "Both have come through a few days of training very well.

"Doucs has got a chance as well and is back in the thinking. He's been on the grass with us this week which is good news. 

"They certainly come back into the squad with the thinking of getting into the side."

When asked about the temptation of starting Doucoure, who has been particularly influential this term, Dyche continued: "He has done very well. If he's right and he feels right then he is certainly in the thinking. We've got a couple of days now to train before the game so we'll see how that goes."

The manager also confirmed Ben Godfrey, who was forced off during the trip to Manchester City, is fully recovered from a sickness bug.

But Arnaut Danjuma (ankle) and Andre Gomes (calf) will miss out.

Dyche added: "Andre [Gomes] is back on the grass but it still has to be a delicate one with his calf because he's had a few of them now, so we've got to be careful with that.

"Arnie [Danjuma] is going well but he has got a few weeks [to go] yet."

Dele remains sidelined as he continues his rehabilitation from a long-term groin injury.
