The Everton team is as follows: Howard; Jagielka, Baines, Heitinga, Distin; Hitzlsperger, Osman; Oviedo, Naismith, Pienaar; Jelavic.
Subs: Mucha, Duffy, Hibbert, Gueye, Barkley, Vellios, Kennedy.

Subs: Bunn, L.Bennett, Tierney, Howson, E. Bennett, Morison, Jackson.
Norwich come into the game following their 1-0 win last week against Manchester United, whereas Everton will be looking to put their defeat against Reading behind them with a convincing victory today.
Everton and Norwich are on their way out, to a loud ovation from the fans.
And it's handshakes all around for the two teams as kick-off is only minutes away!
A win for Everton can see them shorten the gap behind Chelsea to only one point. But Norwich can level points with Tottenham if Hughton's side grab a victory today at Goodison Park.
The referee blows for half-time after Snodgrass fails to make use of a free-kick awarded at the expense of Baines.
Everton look the stronger side at half-time, but Moyes will go in the happier man with his team leading at the break. The home side will feel they can get a another goal or two in the second half but Everton's defence were becoming more exposed in the later periods of the half, which Holt and company could look to utilise.
The teams make their way back onto the pitch for the second half, with Norwich kicking off this time.
The home side failed to move within one point of Chelsea after conceding Bassong's first ever Norwich goal! Hughton's side grabbing nothing less than they deserve.
As ever, controversy tinged the end of the match with Moyes unhappy about the Norwich free kick, but undoubtedly he will be fuming at the missed chances of the team.
And that's it from a dramatic afternoon at Goodison Park, where Everton and Norwich both take a point.
