EPL: Everton v Swansea City preview
Everton v Swansea City preview
Yannick Bolasie could return to action when Everton host Swansea at Goodison Park.
The Toffees winger has been out of action for just over a year due to a knee injury, but boss Sam Allardyce indicated he could be involved against the Swans after appearing for the club's U23s this week.
"We'll have a discussion with the whole team on whether that makes him available on Monday night against Swansea."
Everton were in the midst of relegation worries following a terrible start to the season but since Allardyce's arrival, the team have risen to 10th in the Premier League table.
Swansea will be keen to get back to winning ways after their heavy defeat to Manchester City, but will be hopeful of replicating their 2-1 win at Goodison in January 2016 - their only victory in their last 14 away trips to Everton.

Team news
James McCarthy (hamstring) and Leighton Baines (calf) remain unavailable for Everton, along with Ross Barkley (hamstring), Ramiro Funes Mori (knee) and Seamus Coleman (broken leg).
Swansea striker Wilfried Bony will be fit for the trip to Goodison Park despite coming off with muscle tightness in the closing stages of Wednesday's 4-0 home defeat to Manchester City.
The Ivorian has shown no after-effects of that since the City game and, with Wayne Routledge fit again, Swansea are at full strength apart from the continued absence of Kyle Bartley (knee ligaments).
