| PROBABLE LINEUPS |

EVERTON
Howard Neville, Jagielka, Heitinga, Baines Mirallas, Osman, Fellaini, Pienaar Anichebe, Jelavic |
ASTON VILLA
Guzan Lowton, Vlaar, Clark, Bennett N'Zogbia, Westwood, Ireland Weimann, Agbonlahor Benteke |
Seamus Coleman (thigh) and Tony Hibbert (calf) are still unavailable for selection for David Moyes, however Darron Gibson is available after recovering from a groin injury and coming off the bench in the victory over West Brom.
Richard Dunne could return for the Villans and should prove a welcome boost for Paul Lambert’s defensively frail side. However they will still be without the injured Marc Albrighton and Chris Herd (both foot), Gary Gardner (knee). Fabian Delph is a doubt with an ankle injury.
Lambert could also call upon the services of new signing Yacouba Sylla, the 2 million pound January signing from Clermont Foot will hopefully provide some more steel to the Villa midfield.
