Marco Silva has confirmed that Andre Gomes is unavailable for the visit of Sheffield United, and that has led some fans to call for Tom Davies to get his chance to start.

The Portuguese midfielder is out with a rib injury and his fitness will be monitored on a day-by-day basis, but he has not yet returned to full training after missing the defeat to Bournemouth.

It is another setback for the Toffees who are also without new signing Jean-Philippe Gbamin, and the shortage of midfielders means Silva hasn't been able to settle on a chosen partnership yet.

The injuries also present a chance for Davies to come into the starting XI, which he has been unable to do so far, and in fact has only played 11 minutes despite Everton winning just two games in the league.

With fans running out of patience in Morgan Schneiderlin, the man who replaced Gomes last week, they have turned their attention to the Everton academy product, and as seen in the reactions below they are keen for him to get his chance.
