Everton vs Watford - Schneiderlin may return as Everton host Watford

Everton boss Marco Silva could have a full complement of players to choose from.

Silva on Thursday said Morgan Schneiderlin, who has had a leg issue, was “getting better” and may be available. The midfielder has not been part of the matchday squad for the last seven matches.

The Toffees boss also said there were “some small problems” but “nothing special” with regard to the fitness of those who had played in Wednesday’s 1-1 draw with Newcastle.

Will Hughes remains a doubt for Watford.

The former Derby midfielder has been sidelined with a knock and will be doubtful for the Goodison Park encounter.

Tom Cleverley is close to a return after being sidelined since January with hamstring and Achilles problems, while Etienne Capoue is suspended.
