Sean Dyche could be tempted to make a tactical change up front when his Everton team travel to the Etihad to face Manchester City on Boxing Day.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin is now in the midst of a 12-game scoreless streak, and the visitors will be able to call upon Armando Broja again, after he was ineligible to face parent-club Chelsea last time out.
Third-choice option Beto made an impact off the bench in the 0-0 draw with Chelsea, and also started on their last trip to Manchester at Old Trafford at the start of the month.
Broja has now been the go-to man off the bench though since returning from injury, and the Albanian will be targeting a first start for the club in the near future.
Should Dyche stick with Calvert-Lewin though, then Everton may make just one change from the team that held Chelsea, and it will be enforced at right-back, with Ashley Young suspended after picking up his fifth booking of the season, meaning club captain Seamus Coleman is expected to come in.
The number of changes is also dependent on the fitness of Dwight McNeil, who remains a doubt with a minor knee issue that has seen him miss Everton's last two games.
McNeil is Everton's main source of goals, being their top scorer so far, but the defence has ensured that his absence was not fatal to the team's chances.
Everton have now kept seven clean sheets in their last 10 league games, and that ranks goalkeeper Jordan Pickford at the top of the charts in the race for the Golden Glove.
The performance of the back four in front of Pickford was to thank for another shutout against Chelsea though, as they restricted Enzo Maresca's side to an xG of just 0.2 in the second half on Sunday.
On the injury list, Everton remain without midfield duo Tim Iroegbunam and James Garner, as well as young attacker Youssef Chermiti, who is making good progress in his recovery from toe surgery.
Everton possible starting lineup:
Pickford; Coleman, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Harrison, Gueye, Mangala, Doucoure, Ndiaye; Calvert-Lewin
