Squad sheets: Everton v Sunderland

When it comes to Merseyside, Everton instil far more fear in Sunderland hearts than Liverpool. In the last 30 years they have won only once at Goodison Park – and that when a former Evertonian, Peter Reid, was at the helm. After three straight defeats, Steve Bruce is likely to freshen up his midfield by replacing Steed Malbranque with Ahmed Elmohamady. Having salvaged their season with the FA Cup penalty shoot-out win at Stamford Bridge last week, Everton are likely to welcome Louis Saha back into their attack.
