Roberto Martínez has several defensive injury problems with Phil Jagielka and Sylvain Distin both expected to miss out and Leighton Baines doubtful. Fortunately for the Everton manager, the eye-catching emergence of John Stones and the experienced guile of Antolín Alcaraz have more than compensated in recent weeks. Goodison Park will be key to Everton's Champions League prospects in 2014 and they can ill afford a repeat of the Boxing Day slip against Sunderland. For Norwich City, one-time Everton transfer target Leroy Fer returns from a one-match suspension. Andy Hunter
