Jarrad Branthwaite - One-match ban served Branthwaite will be available against Tottenham on Saturday after serving his one-match ban against Burnley this Saturday.

Impact Branthwaite will be returning to the availability report for Everton, having served his one-match suspension against Burnley after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season against Chelsea.

Lewis Norman Dobbin - Solid presence in win Dobbin generated two tackles (two won) in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Burnley.

Impact Dobbin entered as a sub at halftime and logged at least 45 minutes of action for only the the third match this season and the first time since late August. However, this marked his second consecutive appearance and third in the last five matches, as he looks to be earning more opportunity.

Dwight McNeil - Assists on opening goal McNeil assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), eight crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Burnley.

Impact McNeil sent a cross that reached teammate, Amadou Onana, who headed home the opening goal in the 19th minute. The assist marked the second in the last three games for McNeil, who is also up to six chances created over that span. With three assists through 14 appearances this season, McNeil is on pace for a new career high.

Amadou Onana - Tallies opening goal Onana scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (one accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus Burnley.

Impact After coming in as a sub at halftime in the last game, Onana was back in the starting group and played a full 90 minutes. He made his mark early in the match with the opening goal on a header from close range. The goal also marks the first of the season for Onana, as he tallied his first shot on goal in his last five appearances.

Michael Keane - Nets first goal of the season Keane scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 win against Burnley.

Impact After being sidelined for the last seven matches, Keane made his return to the pitch in style, popping in his first goal of the season. His goal marked the second of the match for his squad, coming early as the 25th minute, when he fired a shot from the center of the box to the bottom left corner. As long as he can stay healthy, Keane will likely remain a part of the starting group and still has time to make a push towards his career high of three goals in a season.

Jordan Pickford - Another clean sheet Pickford had two saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 2-0 win against Burnley.

DECEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Vitaliy Mykolenko - Expected to be fine Mykolenko suffered a minor knock but is expected to be fine according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact Mykolenko has played the full 90 in the last seven matches in a row, so really the only chance of a change is that he gets a rest for the closing stages of Saturday's trip to Burnley. Mykolenko has been incredibly productive in that span as well sending Ashley Young to the midfield or bench depending on injuries elsewhere.

Andre Gomes - Plays with youth side Gomes (calf) played 90 minutes with the Everton U21 side against West Bromwich Albion last Friday ahead of Saturday's match versus Burnley.

Michael Keane - Trains Thursday Keane (undisclosed) returned to training Thursday ahead of Saturday's trip to Burnley, per manager Sean Dyche. "Keane trained today so as long as there's no reaction he'll be back...

Impact Keane has fallen way out of contention for the team with his last appearance back in October. He's also started just twice in just four matches played with limited stats recorded. Even when he returns, the defender will remain on the bench for Everton.

DECEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nathan Patterson - Makes three clearances as sub Patterson had two crosses (zero accurate) and two tackles in Sunday's 2-0 win over Chelsea.

Impact Patterson subbed on in the 41st minute for the injured Ashley Young and made the second-most tackles for Everton in the match. The right-back may get the nod if the starter is not cleared to play at Burnley on Saturday. He has 14 appearances (five starts) so far and two assists.

DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Amadou Onana - Makes two tackles in return Onana had two tackles (one won) and one interception in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Chelsea.

Impact Onana subbed on just after halftime and made two tackles to help Everton earn three points at home. That was his first appearance since the calf injury that foced him to miss three games. The midfielder was a regular starter before and may reclaim his spot with the suspension of Idrissa Gueye.

Idrissa Gueye - Picks up fifth yellow card in win Gueye generated one cross (zero accurate) and one tackle in Sunday's 2-0 win over Chelsea. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 15th minute.

Impact Gueye had a pretty quiet outing during Everton's home win, and could not do much stat-wise. The midfielder did receive his fifth yellow card of the season, though. He is suspended for Saturday's visit to Burnley and may be replaced by Amadou Onana, who subbed on for him during the match.

DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Abdoulaye Doucoure - Scores winner versus Chelsea Doucoure scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and two crosses (one accurate) in Sunday's 2-0 victory versus Chelsea.

Impact Doucoure scored the game-winner in the 54th minute with his second goal in a row and sixth in the season. The midfielder had a good all-around outing, leading Everton in both shots and interceptions in the match. He has yet to assist in the campaign after 15 starts, though.

DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jordan Pickford - Keeps clean sheet in win Pickford registered four saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Chelsea.

DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ashley Young - Dealing with minor issue Young is dealing with a minor injury, though he "put the maximin in" for 41 minutes in Sunday's win against Chelsea, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact It doesn't sound like a major issue for Young, who probably played too many minutes in a short amount of time, given that he's 38 years old. With almost a full week to rest, he'll likely remain in the starting XI going forward, starting with the trip to Burnley. Prior to the Chelsea match, Young had produced 20 crosses in his last four starts, though he played more forward in the win against Newcastle.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jarrad Branthwaite - Dealing with one-match absence Branthwaite will not be available Saturday against Burnley, receiving a one-match ban due to yellow card accumulation.

Impact Branthwaite will be missing his first match since August, having picked up a suspension due to receiving his fifth yellow card against Chelsea. Expect Michael Keane to get the start against Burnley with Branthwaite out, as the defender has not missed a single start this season when available.
