Everton fans will be particularly wary of star striker Romelu Lukaku picking up an injury... especially one which could involve a broken neck.
The Belgian striker joked around this week with Manchester United ace Paul Pogba, playfully accusing the world's most expensive footballer of 'trying to break my neck.'
The Premier League duo are close friends and took the opportunity to catch up with each other in amongst the busy festive and new year period, sharing a video of the occasion to social network site Instagram.

Lukaku treated his 81,000 followers to a short clip showing the two players, in which Pogba appears to have the Everton man in a friendly embrace.
But then, as Pogba pulls on the shoulders of the powerful Everton forward, Lukaku playfully calls out: 'Oh man you're trying to break my neck, leave me alone.'
Pogba, seen in the video wearing a starred bandana, breaks out into fits of laughter and smiles into the camera.
It is the first time the star duo have shared a social media clip together since their summer holiday in Miami.
Prior to Pogba's world-record transfer move to Manchester United, the two young prodigies took a trip together to marvel in the delights of America's southeastern tip.

After featuring for France and Belgium respectively in last summer's Euro 2016 tournament, the pair took time out to relax in Miami after making the cross-coast trip from Los Angeles.
Back in the Premier League the two men are experiencing different fortunes.
While Lukaku and Everton struggle to build up a run of consistency, Pogba and United are flourishing.
The Toffees have picked up three wins in their last five games, though a Merseyside defeat to Liverpool and a draw away at Hull have hampered their progress.
The two men are both vital players for their respective Premier League teams
United meanwhile have finally rediscovered their clinical edge, bouncing back from poor early season form to rack up six consecutive wins.
Lukaku and Pogba will have to wait until April to have the opportunity to meet up on the field.
Everton travel to face the Red Devils on Tuesday, April 4, for a midweek clash under the lights at Old Trafford.
