Neville out of Blues game

Everton captain Phil Neville will miss the Barclays Premier League match against Birmingham tomorrow with a hamstring injury.

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