Moyes has option of unchanged side

Everton manager David Moyes could name an unchanged side for the trip to Manchester City after his side's impressive 3-0 defeat of Newcastle.

Moyes has no new injuries to contend with, but Alan Stubbs could again be missing with the knee problem which has kept him out of the last three games.

The Scot has also been forced to be patient with knee-injury victim Tim Cahill, but has targeted a possible return for the Australian in his side's FA Cup third-round clash with Blackburn in January.

Provisional squad: Howard, Neville, Yobo, Lescott, Weir, Naysmith, Osman, Carsley, Davies, Arteta, Van der Meyde, McFadden, Johnson, Beattie, Vaughan, Wright, Stubbs, Anichebe.
