Toffees boosted by Neville return

Phil Neville makes his return to the Everton starting line-up as David Moyes’ side look to kick-start their faltering season with a victory in the third round of the Carling Cup at Brentford.

Toffees skipper Neville has overcome a foot injury to make a side that also includes a first start for Yakubu, who has been struggling for fitness since his World Cup exploits with Nigeria.
