If you were to rank Everton's four senior centre-backs in terms of suitability for Wednesday night's trip to Burnley, there appears two obvious leading candidates.
If they were all fit and available - a fanciful prospect, granted - then the combination of the Clarets' direct football and their towering centre-forward would likely be best combated by Yerry Mina and Michael Keane.
Both Blues defenders have their vices, although they have shown in the past they can cope with a long-ball bombardment. Unfortunately for Frank Lampard, both are unavailable - Mina is still sidelined with injury and Keane is serving a suspension for his thoughtless red card in Sunday's loss to West Ham United.
