With one foot in the Round of 16 thanks to a handsome 2-0 win in the first leg in Norway, Everton take on SK Brann for the second time in 8 days hoping to keep it tight and secure that passage to the next round and a likely date with Fiorentina; and David Moyes will be buoyed by the fact that he has a virtually fully-fit squad from which to choose, Anthony Gardner being the only player still on the treatment table.
Steven Pienaar is available again for the first time since 5th January following Africa Cup of Nations duty and the ankle injury he picked up in Ghana, and Mikel Arteta has also shaken off the knock that prevented him from travelling to Bergen last week.
That gives the manager plenty of selection options, both in terms of the starting line-up and also to whom he can give a run out in the second half if the aggregate score remains as comfortable as it is going into the second game.
Facing elimination from the tournament, Brann will need to come out and play but while they did cause the Blues a few problems at times in the first leg, there was little to suggest that they have what it takes to overturn a two-goal deficit at Goodison Park.
