No New Injuries For Blues

Everton at almost at full strength for Carling Cup third round.

Everton have no new injury concerns for their Carling Cup third round tie with West Bromwich Albion at Goodison Park.

John Heitinga returned to the Blues squad for their 3-1 win over Wigan Athletic in the Premier League on Saturday, and the squad is almost at full strength for the visit of Roy Hodgson's outfit.

West Brom made 11 changes to their side for their second round victory over Bournemouth, but Everton assistant manager Steve Round says the Blues won't make wholesale changes on Wednesday night.

He said: "The manager has picked a strong squad for the game, but he hasn't selected his team yet.

"But we're very keen to play a strong side on Wednesday, you won't see many players rested."

Victor Anichebe is the only long term injury absentee, the Nigerian international is sidelined with a groin injury.
