Yobo & Rodwell Return

Yobo and Rodwell return to Everton side for game against Spurs.

Joseph Yobo has returned to the Everton side to face Spurs.

The defender missed out on the midweek trip to Athens with a hamstring complaint but makes a timely return to boost Everton's defence.

Sylvain Distin is still injured though, while John Heitinga is suspended. So David Moyes drafts Lucas Neill into his back four, joining Tony Hibbert and Leighton Baines.

The midfield is also boosted by the return of Jack Rodwell after a groin problem, while Brazilian striker Jo shakes off a knee problem to again lead the line up front.

Rodwell is joined in midfield by Tim Cahill, Marouane Fellaini, Steven Pienaar and Wednesday's goalscorer Diniyar Bilyaletdinov.

It means Yakubu and Louis Saha are waiting on the bench, along with young heroes from midweek Seamus Coleman, Jose Baxter and Shane Duffy.

Spurs include dangermen Aaron Lennon and Jermain Defoe in their line-up, with Peter Crouch also named.
