Johnson a doubt for Toffees
Andrew Johnson is the main doubt ahead of Everton’s trip to Anfield for the Merseyside derby on Sunday.
Johnson sat out last weekend’s 1-1 draw at home to Fulham with a groin injury, while Australia midfielder Tim Cahill may miss the rest of the season after lasting just 10 minutes against the Cottagers before the recurrence of a metatarsal injury.
Steven Pienaar’s fitness will be assessed after illness but Victor Anichebe has shown no ill-effects after recovering from a hip injury to play last week.
Provisional squad: Howard, Hibbert, Neville, Yobo, Jagielka, Lescott, Baines, Valente, Arteta, Osman, Carsley, Pienaar, Fernandes, Anichebe, Yakubu, Johnson, Wessels, Rodwell.
