Everton vs Swansea City Preview
Everton will be glad to welcome back Idrissa Gueye to the midfield after his suspension but his compatriot Gareth Barry is banned after picking up a fifth booking. James McCarthy is still recovering from a hamstring injury, so Tom Cleverley should continue in midfield. Muhamed Besic and Matthew Pennington are injured and Arouna Koné is doubtful.
Swansea are without injured full-backs Jefferson Montero and Kyle Naughton, so Stephen Kingsly and Angel Rangel should retain their starting berths. Gylfi Sigurdsson is a key player for the Swans and will look to support lone striker Borja Baston from the hole.
Team Predictions Everton vs Swansea City
Everton 4-2-3-1 formation: Stekelenburg; Oviedo, Williams, Jagielka, Coleman; Gueye, Cleverley; Mirallas, Barkley, Bolasie; Lukaku
Swansea 4-3-2-1 formation: Fabianski; Kingsley, Mawson, Hoorn, Rangel; Sung-Yeung, Fer; Routledge, Sigurdsson, Barrow; Baston

Everton vs Swansea City Prediction
Everton will have been disappointed to lose 2-1 away to Burnley after they did so well to take a point off Manchester City. They looked in control when winning 2-0 against West Ham and could have probably scored a few more but were not at the races in the defeat at Chelsea and will be looking to move on quickly form that result.
Swansea’s winless streak moved on to a tenth game with their defeat at home to Manchester United. That was preceded by a 3-1 loss away to Stoke and a goalless draw at home to Watford. Their confidence is absolutely shot and it’s hard to see where the next win is going to come from.
As patchy as Everton’s form has been, they are unbeaten in 8 Premier League matches at Goodison Park. Compare that to Swansea who have lost their last 4 away games and it’s difficult to see the visitors getting anything here. To their credit, Swansea have tended to score recently but their poor defence usually results in it being nothing more than a consolation.
