Everton return to the Hill Dickinson on Sunday when Manchester United provide the opposition in the final Premier League game before the international break.
David Moyes’ side have made a solid start to the season, taking four points from their opening two league games, and Sunday brings another sizeable test.
It could also bring a second Everton debut for Jack Grealish following his Deadline Day return to the club.

Everton team news
Moyes provided his latest update at Finch Farm on Friday, although a press conference dominated by the fallout from the transfer window produced relatively little fresh injury news.
Christian Nørgaard remains unavailable with the problem that has kept him out of the opening weeks of the season, but there were no new injuries announced ahead of United’s visit.
That leaves much of the interest around Everton’s Deadline Day arrivals.
Grealish has returned for another season-long loan and is available to Moyes, although the manager must decide whether the winger is ready to go straight into his starting XI.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles is another new option following his move from Lyon and could make his Everton debut.
The attacking picture has changed considerably since Everton last played.
Iliman Ndiaye joined Manchester City on Deadline Day, while Beto completed his move to Fiorentina. The proposed deal for Folarin Balogun then collapsed, leaving Thierno Barry as the only recognised senior centre-forward in Moyes’ squad.
Barry has at least started the season well, scoring against Crystal Palace before hitting a hat-trick in the 4-0 Carabao Cup victory at Preston.
How Everton come into the game
The Toffees have taken four points from their opening two Premier League games.
A 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace at the Hill Dickinson was followed by a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth, where James Tarkowski’s late goal rescued a point.
There was also that comfortable 4-0 Carabao Cup victory at Preston between the two league fixtures.
United arrive having recovered from a 2-0 opening defeat at Hull City by beating Ipswich Town 5-2 at Old Trafford last weekend, with Bruno Fernandes scoring a hat-trick.
Michael Carrick’s side do have injury concerns of their own. Summer signing Carlos Baleba is yet to make his debut because of an ankle problem, while Amad Diallo and Manuel Ugarte are also among those unavailable.
How to watch Everton v Manchester United
The game has been selected for live television coverage in the UK.
Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League will show the match, with kick-off at 2pm on Sunday.
Sky Sports subscribers can also stream the game online, while it is available through NOW with the appropriate Sports membership.
For supporters in the United States, the match kicks off at 9am ET and will be shown live on USA Network, with Spanish-language coverage on Telemundo.
For Everton, much of the attention will inevitably be on Grealish and whether Moyes puts him straight back into his side.
But after all the noise surrounding Deadline Day, three points against Manchester United would be a useful way of shifting the conversation back towards events on the pitch. For 90 minutes at least.
