Pienaar back for derby

Everton have winger Steven Pienaar back available for tomorrow night’s Merseyside derby with Liverpool at Anfield.

Pienaar, who is on loan from Tottenham, returns to the Toffees matchday squad after being ineligible for the 1-0 win over his parent club on Saturday.

Midfielder Jack Rodwell and defender Phil Jagielka made their first-team comebacks from injury as substitutes in that game and could be in line for recalls to the starting XI.

Provisional squad: Howard, Heitinga, Baines, Distin, Hibbert, Neville, Cahill, Drenthe, Osman, Fellaini, Stracqualursi, Jelavic, Coleman, Barkley, Jagielka, Anichebe, Gueye, Mucha, Rodwell, Pienaar, Vellios.
