The likes of Mesut Ozil, Laurent Koscielny, and Hector Bellerin could be available for selection.

On Sunday Bournemouth travel to Merseyside to face Everton. Marco Silva has come under scrutiny after failing to improve the Blues’ league position in recent weeks. The league meeting with the Cherries will be a significant game for the Portuguese.
