Everton vs Lincoln City - Marco Silva could shuffle his pack for Everton
Posted Saturday, January 05, 2019 by PA
Everton boss Marco Silva is set to make changes to his side for the FA Cup visit of League Two leaders Lincoln.
Midfielder Andre Gomes and leading scorer Richarlison could be rested, giving fit-again Ademola Lookman a chance of a start.
Defenders Leighton Baines and Phil Jagielka could come into contention along with Morgan Schneiderlin.
James McCarthy, who has not played since a horrific double fracture of his leg almost a year ago, is looking at a potential return.
Lincoln are hopeful that first-choice goalkeeper Josh Vickers will be fit.
Vickers suffered a calf injury at Crewe on Boxing Day and has not played since. Grant Smith has deputised in the subsequent two games but he is cup-tied having played for Maidstone earlier in the competition.
It could mean an appearance at Goodison Park for Sam Slocombe, who has featured just five times for the Imps this season.
John Akinde could be restored to the starting line-up after the 11-goal striker began on the bench against Port Vale on New Year’s Day.
