Saha Starts But No Lescott

Louis Saha returns to the starting line-up for Everton's Europa League play off against Sigma Olomouc.

The Frenchman, who replaces Jo, came off the bench to bag a consolation for the Blues during Saturday's 6-1 defeat to Arsenal.

David Moyes' men are looking to put that loss firmly behind them and the manager has made one other change, replacing Joleon Lescott with 18-year-old Jack Rodwell.

As revealed by Moyes at Wednesday's pre-match press conference, Joleon Lescott does not feature in the squad.

It means Tim Howard continues in goal, behind Tony Hibbert, Leighton Baines, Phil Neville and Joseph Yobo. Rodwell, meanwhile, is joined in midfield by Tim Cahill, Steven Pienaar, Marouane Fellaini and Leon Osman, leaving Saha to lead the line in attack.

Northern Irish defender Shane Duffy is named on the bench alongside fellow teenagers Dan Gosling, Jose Baxter and James Wallace. Carlo Nash, James Vaughan and Jo also start as substitutes.

Everton: Howard, Hibbert, Baines, Yobo, Neville, Fellaini, Osman, Pienaar, Cahill, Rodwell, Saha. Subs: Nash, Duffy, Gosling, Baxter, Wallace, Vaughan, Jo.
