David Moyes will be hoping to add the names of strikers Andrew Johnson and Victor Anichebe to his squad to face rock-bottom Derby County on Sunday.
AJ looks to be available after coming off injured with a groin strain in the defeat to Fulham while Anichebe has returned to training at Finch Farm after overcoming a virus.
If selected it will give Everton more options from the bench in a crucial game where the Toffee’s need to get back to winning ways if they are to keep the dream of Champions League football alive. Everton will still be without the services of influential midfielder Tim Cahill, who continues to have problems with his troublesome foot injury.
Elsewhere, reports indicate the Steven Pienaar is fit and ready to start against Derby.
Former Everton captain Alan Stubbs will not make a playing return to Goodison after failing to recover from a calf injury picked up in their 6-1 drubbing at the hands of Chelsea.
