Tarkowski starred in the Toffees' 3-0 demolition of Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon and picked up his third clean sheet of the season in the process.
And after a dominant performance alongside compatriot Conor Coady, pundits were quick to suggest that either could have a chance of making England's World Cup squad.
