Romelu Lukaku: Late fitness test against Stoke
Lukaku (back) is a late fitness test against Stoke City, but manager Roberto Martinez believes he will play.
Analysis:
Lukaku had trouble walking without pain after taking a knee to the back of Everton's mid-week clash with Stoke City. However, as the week progressed, the Belgian's back improved considerably. He has 15 goals in Premier League play and if he missed the match, it would be devastating for Everton. Arouna Kone and Oumar Niasse are potential options up front if Lukaku is ruled out.
