Carsley back for Everton

Everton had Lee Carsley back in their defence after missing last weekend’s defeat at Fulham while midfielder and top scorer Tim Cahill recovered from a back injury to play in the club’s final home league game of the season.

Skipper Alan Stubbs, after fears that his season was over following a shoulder injury, was back on the bench for a match, if Everton won, would all but make sure of Champions League football next season.
