New Boys In For Reserve

Stracqualursi and Drenthe to feature for Reserves against Villa.

Deadline day signings Royston Drenthe and Denis Stracqualursi are both included in a strong reserve squad that will face Aston Villa on Tuesday night (The Stobart Stadium, Widnes, 7pm ko).

Drenthe made his Everton first-team debut as a second half substitute in the 2-2 draw with Aston Villa on Saturday, whilst striker Stracqualursi was an unused replacement.

The pair are joined in the squad by teenage midfielder Ross Barkley who has featured in all four first team games this season.

Magaye Gueye will continue his comeback from a broken toe, whilst Slovakian custodian Jan Mucha is set to feature in goal.

The other players in Alan Stubbs' squad with first team experience are Jake Bidwell, Jose Baxter and Adam Forshaw.

Tickets for the game cost just £4 for adults and £2 for juniors and are available on the turnstiles at The Stobart Stadium on the night.

The match will be Everton Reserves' fourth outing of the 2011/12 campaign, having recorded two draws and one defeat so far.

Squad: Mucha, Davis, Browning, Garbutt, Bidwell, Gueye, Baxter, Drenthe, Stracqualursi, McAleny, Forshaw, Hope, Nsiala, Barkley, Mustafi, Orenuga, Lundstram.
