Everton boss David Moyes has no fresh injury concerns ahead of tomorrow’s Carling Cup third round clash with West Brom at Goodison Park.

Phil Neville could be set to return to the team having been an unused substitute for the last two games.

Apostolos Vellios and Royston Drenthe may be in contention for their first starts after both came off the bench to score in the 3-1 Barclays Premier League win over Wigan on Saturday.

It remains uncertain whether or not Louis Saha – who has been working his way back to match fitness – might feature following the French striker’s decision to vent his frustration via Twitter at being left out of the squad for the Latics fixture.

Provisional squad: Howard, Heitinga, Hibbert, Neville, Distin, Jagielka, Baines, Barkley, Fellaini, Osman, Rodwell, Drenthe, Cahill, Stracqualursi, Mucha, Baxter, Bilyaletdinov, Vellios, Gueye, Saha, Coleman.
