Arteta and Cahill may return for Toffees

Key pair Mikel Arteta and Tim Cahill could return for Everton’s Barclays Premier League trip to Manchester United tomorrow.

Arteta has missed four games with a hamstring injury while Cahill has been troubled by a foot problem for the past month.

Midfielder John Heitinga is doubtful after hobbling out of last week’s win over Blackburn with a hamstring injury.

Jack Rodwell and Seamus Coleman are both pushing to start after substitute appearances last week but Louis Saha and Marouane Fellaini are long-term absentees.

Provisional squad: Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Coleman, Osman, Rodwell, Neville, Bilyaletdinov, Beckford, Arteta, Cahill, Gueye, Anichebe, Mustafi, Baxter, Vellios, Forshaw, McAleny, Nsiala, Mucha.
