Louis Saha is in contention for Everton’s FA Cup fifth-round tie against Reading tomorrow after escaping unharmed from a car crash last night.

Louis Saha is in contention for Everton’s FA Cup fifth-round tie against Reading tomorrow after escaping unharmed from a car crash last night.

The only issue is whether the French striker is still troubled by the hamstring injury which hindered his return to action in Saturday’s victory over Sunderland.

Midfielder Marouane Fellaini is a major doubt after aggravating an ankle problem against the Wearsiders.

Everton will also check on the fitness of Jermaine Beckford (groin), Tim Cahill (foot) and Victor Anichebe.

Provisional squad: Howard, Neville, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Coleman, Fellaini, Osman, Rodwell, Cahill, Arteta, Saha, Beckford, Bilyaletdinov, Gueye, Heitinga, Hibbert, Baxter, Duffy, Mucha.
