Everton vs. Stoke City: Team News and Gamethread

After an exciting Merseyside Derby, Everton will look to get their first victory of November against Stoke City. With news of Lukaku interested in staying at Goodison making the rounds, fans will be excited. For those who also missed it, rumors are once again swirling that American legend Landon Donovan will be making a third trip to Goodison on loan. The atmosphere will be buzzing today, and it should help get Everton 3 points.

Lineups are below, and Barcelona starlet Gerard Deulofeu gets his first EPL start with some high expectations. It appears that Martinez is going to stick with the 4-5-1 and slot in Bryan Oviedo in at left back. Ross Barkley and Kevin Mirallas are starting this one on the bench, but I'd put good money on seeing one if not both in the game at some point.
