Everton manager Marco Silva will continue to play Richarlison as a striker even if the winger is not in the best goalscoring form.
The Brazil international is the Toffees' top scorer with nine this season, but after a run of three goals in five matches in December he has not found the net in the last four.
He last found the net with the final goal in the 90th minute of the 5-1 Boxing Day thrashing of Burnley and in last weekend's victory over Bournemouth he looked uncomfortable against the Cherries' two centre-backs, frequently not even attempting to challenge for aerial balls.
