Rafael Benitez won't be able to call upon any returnees for Everton's Merseyside derby clash with Liverpool on Wednesday night.
The Spaniard told the press on Tuesday afternoon that "the group of players are the same" that he had available for the defeat at Brentford on Sunday, which means that Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Yerry Mina, Tom Davies and Andre Gomes all remain sidelined.
The Toffees have scored just nine goals in the 10 matches since Calvert-Lewin, last season's top scorer at Goodison Park, sustained a fractured toe.
There is some positive news, though, with the manager confirming that Gomes has returned to training. Richarlison will also be back from the yellow card suspension that kept him out last weekend.
Can Everton halt the slide against the Reds?
Everton are going in search of their first win since they beat Norwich City 2-0 towards the end of September. Liverpool, who are just two points off top spot, represent a daunting opponent, having scored 10 goals without reply in their three matches since the November international break.
The official Everton Twitter channel posted a clip of Benitez's team news update ahead of the derby, and here's how some Toffees fans reacted.
