Beyond the probable inclusion of Wright, Everton are expected to keep with the starting 11 that played so well away to West Ham last weekend, meaning that James McFadden keeps his place, alongside James Beattie up front.
Matteo Ferrari and James Vaughn both trained this week, but neither are expected to feature on Saturday.
The visitors meanwhile have been all but unbeatable at home this season, yet travel very badly indeed, and have yet to win away this season. They will be boosted by the return of England left back Wayne Bridge, joining former Everton players Mark Pembridge, Brian McBride and Tomas Radzinski.
