Christian Norgaard came off at the break against Leicester on Friday night due to illness and will be assessed, with Yehor Yarmoliuk in line to deputise if required.
On the whole, Thomas Frank may go with the same XI that didn't really need to get out of second gear at Leicester on Friday night, Norgaard's fitness depending.
Mathias Jensen is one of seven players missing for Brentford in midweek.
Everton

Youssef Chermiti, Nathan Patterson and Jesper Lindstrom are among those who will be assessed ahead of Wednesday's trip to Brentford, though the former is unlikely to feature after a lengthy layoff.
Orel Mangala, Armando Broja, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Dwight McNeil, Seamus Coleman and Iliman Ndiaye miss out due to injury.
After a goal and assist, Abdoulaye Doucoure should keep his spot in the XI, while Ashley Young and Tim Iroegbunam are options for David Moyes.
