Everton travel to Sunderland on Monday night knowing a win could take them as high as second in the early Premier League standings.
The Toffees have enjoyed an unbeaten start to the season, drawing with Tottenham Hotspur and beating West Brom and Stoke City.
New boss Ronald Koeman should be aiming for three more points given Sunderland’s patchy start to the campaign under David Moyes, who managed Everton for 11 years.
Seamus Coleman’s return to fitness hands Koeman a selection headache, meanwhile new boy Enner Valencia, Tom Cleverley and Darron Gibson, could also feature.
