Baines out for Toffees

Everton are likely to again be without full-back Leighton Baines for tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League clash with Birmingham at Goodison Park.

Baines missed the midweek win at Luton with an ankle problem and midfielder Mikel Arteta (calf) is also doubtful but James Vaughan returned against the Hatters after a shoulder injury.

Phil Neville and Tony Hibbert, who were suspended for the win at Derby, will also be back in the squad.

Provisional squad: Howard, Hibbert, Yobo, Stubbs, Lescott, Valente, Jagielka, Carsley, Neville, Osman, Cahill, Pienaar, Vaughan, Anichebe, Yakubu, McFadden, Wessels, Gravesen.
