Everton manager Rafael Benitez has held his press conference for the Watford game at the Goodison Park on Saturday and he confirmed that Richardson is on course to make his return from injury after a little over one month. The Toffess have been without the Brazilian international since he sustained a knee injury during the league game at home to Burnley last month. Richarlison picked up the injury from a poor challenge on the part of Burnleydefender James Tarkowski and it overshadowed the game which saw the Toffess claim a 3-1 comeback victory with all the four goals coming in the second half.

The likes of Michael Keane, Andros Townsend and Demarai Gray were on the scoresheet for the Merseyside giants.
