    Team news, key stats and prediction ahead of Everton vs Norwich in the Premier League.

    Team news

    Everton striker Cenk Tosun is fit to face Norwich having withdrawn from international duty with Turkey due to suffering a groin injury in training.

    But Fabian Delph and Bernard are both classed as "big doubts" by Marco Silva, meaning the Portuguese could field the same starting XI that beat Southampton 2-1 a fortnight ago.

    Jean-Philippe Gbamin and Andre Gomes remain long-term injury absentees.

    Josip Drmic has enjoyed a bright pre-season, scoring a hat-trick in a 5-1 win over Luton

    Norwich's injury list shows little sign of improving with Josip Drmic ruled out for eight weeks after a serious muscle fibre injury.

    Grant Hanley is closing in on a return after resuming first-team training but this weekend comes too soon.

    Jamal Lewis and Mario Vrancic remain doubts but Kenny McLean and Christoph Zimmermann are available after recent setbacks.

    Opta stats

    • Everton have lost just one of their last 12 Premier League meetings with Norwich (W5 D6), going down 1-2 at Carrow Road in February 2013.
    • After winning their first two Premier League away games against Everton in January and September 1993, Norwich are winless in their last six top-flight visits to Goodison Park (D2 L4).
    • Norwich have lost their last 10 Premier League games against the six ever-present sides in the competition, since a 2-1 win at Man Utd in December 2015. The Canaries have conceded 28 goals in those 10 games.
    • Everton have lost their last three Premier League games against promoted sides, last losing four such games in a row in February 2001. The Toffees have already lost to Aston Villa and Sheffield United this season, last losing to all three promoted clubs in 2000-01 (Charlton, Ipswich and Man City).
    • Norwich have kept a joint league-low one Premier League clean sheet this season, conceding at least twice in 10 of their 12 games. The Canaries have also failed to score in a joint league-high six Premier League matches this season.
    • Norwich have lost 18 of their past 21 Premier League away games, picking up just seven points from 63 available (W2 D1 L18).
    • Norwich are the only side to have neither won a single point from a losing position, nor lost a point from ahead in the Premier League this season, with the Canaries winning both games in which they've taken a lead and losing all nine in which they've been behind (drawing the other 0-0).
    • Everton have conceded more goals from set-piece situations than any other Premier League side this season (8, excluding penalties), with those goals accounting for a league-high 44% of their total goals conceded (8/18).
    • Everton manager Marco Silva has lost all three of his Premier League home games against sides starting the day bottom of the table - 0-2 vs Sunderland in May 2017 (with Hull), 1-2 vs Swansea in December 2017 (with Watford) and 1-3 vs West Ham in September 2018 (with Everton).
    • Norwich's only away goal this season came in their opening game, scored by Teemu Pukki at Liverpool. The last player to score away at both Merseyside clubs for a promoted side was David Nugent with Leicester in 2014-15.

    Charlie Nicholas' prediction

    This is a massive one for Everton and I have to fancy them at home. It has not been good to watch and Marco Silva has chopped and changed team a lot. His breakdown of the last away game suggested he doesn't seem to feel pressure at all - what a load of rubbish!

    I'll tell you the reason why you feel pressure Mr Silva, in the last few games you have changed the team on a regular basis, sometimes four of five players, which tells you that you do not know your best starting team.

    Moise Kean sounds as though he may be heading back to Italy, Cenk Tosun is back in the starting line-up, Richarlison is delivering with his goals and I always think he will get you double figures, Theo Walcott has been alright, but Gylfi Sigurdsson has been in and out.

    Norwich have never really recovered from the win over Manchester City. They seem like they are lost for ideas, while Teemu Pukki and the attackers cannot do anything at the moment. It will be another win for Everton which will relieve the stress and pain for now.

    CHARLIE PREDICTS: 2-0 (13/2 with Sky Bet)
