Fresh from the splendid Merseyside derby, Everton will be confident of maintaining their unbeaten home record against a Stoke side who secured their first victory in nine last weekend. Romelu Lukaku continues to demonstrate all the forward qualities Chelsea currently lack and a win for Everton could elevate them briefly into the top four. Stoke haven't won away since August but a rejuvenated Charlie Adam could be one to watch after his goal against Sunderland. Louis Richards
