Costa whom actually was held scoreless in their last game against West Brom, and that was the 1st time in their ultimate 3 games that Costa did not score a goal. But give him credit for his attempts as had 53 touches and 21 duels in that West Brom Game. No Costa will be seeking to score against the Toffees since their defense to date has given up 29 goals.
