Jack Rodwell keeps his place for Everton's clash with Aston Villa.

The teenage midfielder is included in a midfield that also features Tim Cahill and Mikel Arteta.

The high profile pair were rested for the midweek win over Huddersfield and are joined by Marouane Fellaini and Steven Pienaar in the centre of the park.

Seamus Coleman and Magaye Gueye drop to the bench, with John Heitinga also missing out.

Tim Howard is back in goal but Jermaine Beckford continues up front.

The back four is Everton's regular one, comprising Tony Hibbert, Leighton Baines, Sylvain Distin and Phil Jagielka.

There are plenty of options on the bench, with Louis Saha, Diniyar Bilyaletdinov and Leon Osman also waiting in the wings.

Phil Neville is still sidelined with a foot injury.

Everton: Howard, Hibbert, Baines, Jagielka, Distin, Arteta, Cahill, Pienaar, Fellaini, Rodwell, Beckford. Subs: Mucha, Heitinga, Bilyaletdinov, Saha, Gueye, Osman, Coleman.
