Ronald Koeman has confirmed several key players will return for Everton's clash with Manchester City on Saturday.
Phil Jagielka, Leighton Baines, Darren Gibson and Romelu Lukaku are all set to feature in Koeman's squad at the Etihad Stadium.
However, the Everton boss does not have a full squad at his disposal, with midfielders Aaron Lennon and James McCarthy doubtful.
Koeman believes McCarthy was "massively overloaded" after playing twice for Ireland during the international break.
"We have some key players in the team and they need to bring productivity to the team. We are in a good way but we know we can be better," Koeman said.
"With James McCarthy it's a little bit more difficult because after five to six weeks out of football after his surgery, he played the full game with Ireland.
"He played the second game and was massively overloaded. We have to make the decision tomorrow if he is really fit to be part of the team."
