Everton forward Victor Anichebe could be back in contention for tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League clash against West Brom at Goodison Park.
The 22-year-old has not made a senior appearance all season due to a knee injury suffered in pre-season – the latest in a catalogue of problems – but scored for the reserves in midweek.
Midfielder Marouane Fellaini is again missing as he serves the final match of his three-game ban for his red card against Bolton.
Leon Osman (ankle) and Ross Barkley (broken leg) are the other major absentees.
Team (from): Howard, Neville, Distin, Jagielka, Baines, Coleman, Cahill, Pienaar, Heitinga, Arteta, Saha, Rodwell, Beckford, Bilyaletdinov, Gueye, Hibbert, Anichebe, Yakubu, Mustafi, Silva, Baxter, Mucha.
