Taking a break form the Premier League both sides will be looking to bounce back as they aim at boosting their confidence ahead of a high-pressured Premier League action.

Everton will be hoping for a new manager bounce as Frank Lampard was appointed as the replacement for Rafa Benitez on transfer deadline day and he came in with Donny Van De Beek and Deli Alli. Goodison Park faithfuls will expect Lampard to bring some freshnes to the team with the introduction of all three acquisitions in Van De Beek, Deli Alli and Anwar El Ghazi.
