Howard set to return for Toffees

Goalkeeper Tim Howard is set to return as Everton are likely to make only one change for their final home match of the season against Portsmouth.

Howard, who was ineligible for last weekend’s defeat against former club Manchester United, will replace replacing Scotland Under-21 international Iain Turner.

Striker Andrew Johnson is not expected to be involved as he struggles to overcome an ankle injury, while Victor Anichebe is close to a return following an ankle problem.

Provisional squad: Howard, Hibbert, Stubbs, Lescott, Yobo, Naysmith, Valente, Arteta, Carsley, Osman, Fernandes, Neville, Beattie, McFadden, Vaughan, Van der Meyde, Turner, De Silva, Vidarsson.
