Everton v Liverpool
Friday, 27 November 2009 15:07Everton midfielders Diniyar Bilyaletdinov and Marouane Fellaini both return from suspension for Sunday's 212th Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.
However, there are slight doubts over midfielder Jack Rodwell (groin) and striker Louis Saha, who also picked up a knock in Wednesday's defeat at Hull.
Steven Pienaar made a welcome return in that match after a two-month absence with a knee injury and is likely to start again against Liverpool.
Fernando Torres will have a fitness test tomorrow to see whether he is fit enough to be considered for a place in Liverpool's squad on Sunday.
Torres has been having treatment on his serious groin injury, and has done light training this week under the control of Liverpool's fitness coaches.
Winger Ryan Babel is still out with an ankle injury, but Italian midfielder Alberto Aquilani is likely to be on the substitutes' bench.
Glen Johnson, Albert Riera and Yossi Benayoun, who have all struggled with injuries over the past week, should be in the squad.
Everton squad: Howard, Heitinga, Yobo, Baines, Distin, Hibbert, Cahill, Gosling, Rodwell, Bilyaletdinov, Fellaini, Saha, Yakubu, Neill, Nash, Jo, Baxter, Agard, Wallace, Pienaar.
Liverpool squad: Reina, Johnson, Agger, Carragher, Skrtel, Kyrgiakos, Aurelio, Insua, Dossena, El Zhar, Aquilani, Gerrard, Mascherano, Lucas, Benayoun, Riera, Kuyt, Ngog, Cavalieri, Spearing, Torres.
