FOUR Everton FC players must walk a disciplinary tight-rope against Young Boys.
The Blues are in pole position to qualify for the last 16 of the Europa League ahead of tomorrow’s night’s last 32 second leg with Young Boys.
Roberto Martinez’s men won 4-1 in Switzerland last week and are in a strong position to book their place in Friday’s draw in Nyon (12pm).
Should the Blues qualify for the next stage of the competition then Romelu Lukaku, Steven Naismith, Mo Besic and Steven Pienaar – who all have two bookings to their name – must avoid another yellow card in tomorrow’s game to make sure they are available for the first leg.

The yellow card amnesty does not kick in until after the completion of the quarter-finals, so potentially the quartet must go through five ties without picking up a third booking in order to escape a suspension.
