Everton boss David Moyes expects Stoke City to deliver them a stern test today.
"Stoke will certainly provide a different challenge from the one we faced in the week," he said.
"They have players who can throw the ball a great distance and players who are powerful aerially but you have to cope with that as it is part of football.
"If you are brought up through the lower leagues, like I was, it was always there so hopefully we have the players to deal with it."
