Everton manager David Moyes will monitor the fitness of striker Andrew Johnson and midfielder Leon Osman ahead of their UEFA Cup match against Metalist Kharkov tomorrow.

Both players have been suffering from groin problems but were in the travelling party that left for Ukraine as David Moyes’ side look to secure a place in the group stages following a 1-1 draw two weeks ago.

Nuno Valente remains doubtful with a foot injury but the tie has come too soon for Thomas Gravesen following a knee problem.

Team (from): Howard, Wessels, Hibbert, Stubbs, Lescott, Yobo, Baines, Valente, Pienaar, Arteta, Carsley, Neville, Jagielka, Osman, Johnson, McFadden, Yakubu, Anichebe.
