One thing that has seriously lacked from Everton’s game since the departure of David Moyes has certainly been a toughness amongst the squad.

Koeman will be aiming to make his Everton side hard to beat, especially at Goodison Park, and players such as Arnautovic can fire up the home crowd with their determination and physicality.
