Fitness test for Howard

Everton will give goalkeeper Tim Howard a late fitness test ahead of tomorrow’s Premier League trip to Wolves.

The American international was unable to take goal kicks during Wednesday’s 2-0 win at Manchester City due to a thigh strain. However, boss David Moyes is hopeful Howard will be able to play at Molineux.

Moyes has striker Victor Anichebe back in the squad after a rib injury, while midfielders Tim Cahill and Jack Rodwell have slight hamstring problems.

Everton provisional squad: Howard, Neville, Yobo, Senderos, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Arteta, Osman, Pienaar, Arteta, Cahill, Heitinga, Rodwell, Saha, Anichebe, Nash, Hibbert, Yakubu, Bilyaletdinov, Gosling.
