Everton have a long injury list ahead of Sunday’s crucial Merseyside derby at Anfield as they battle with Liverpool for the fourth-place finish in the Premiership. David Moyes’ side are currently two points behind the Reds.

Tim Cahill (foot problem), Steven Pienaar (sick) and Joseph Yobo (ankle injury) are all considered doubtful.

Australian attacker Cahill started against West Ham on Saturday, but had to be replaced after just 10 minutes. South African playmaker Pienaar was sick with gastroenteritis and failed to be fit for the Hammers game, while Nigerian defender Yobo has an ankle problem and also missed the weekend’s home game.

Striker Andrew Johnson is however, likely to be available as he recovers from a groin strain.
