Carrow Road — Norwich, Norfolk
Team News
Norwich
Anthony Pilkington has missed the last two games with a hamstring problem and remains a doubt. Ryan Bennett made his debut for the club at centre-back last time out and impressed, so should keep his place, with Whitbread potentially dropping to the bench.
Grant Holt returns from suspension and should go straight back into the starting XI.
probable lineups : Ruddy, Naughton, Ward, Bennett, Martin, Surman, Fox, Howson, Bennett, Hoolahan, Holt. (4-4-1-1).
Everton
Leon Osman was withdrawn at half time against West Brom with a knock and
could be replaced by Victor Anichebe, who scored from the bench last
time out. Rodwell, Coleman and Drenthe are also all doubtful in midfield.
David Moyes has rotated his centre-backs in recent weeks, but could
stick with the same back line that kept a clean sheet last weekend.
probable lineups : Howard, Hibbert, Heitinga, Jagielka, Baines, Anichebe, Gibson, Fellaini, Pienaar, Cahill, Jelavic. (4-4-1-1).

Prediction
This game between two sides who have very little to play for, with
Everton still harbouring feint hopes of European football, should lead
to an open and entertaining match.
Everton have won 4 of their last 5 games, keeping clean sheets in all of
those victories, but face a Norwich side who have only failed to score
in 3 home games and always play to win at Carrow Road.
The game earlier in the season ended in a draw and it is tough to separate the sides this time out.
Norwich 1 - 1 Everton
