Everton Vs Sunderland: Confirmed Lineups

Martin O'Neill was forced into changes as Phil Bardsley and last week's man of the match Lee Cattermole both missed out . Cattermole reportedly has been suffering all week with Flu and hasn't been deemed ready to complete 90 minutes. Bardsley was at fault for Aston Villa's winner last week, but is a favourite of O'Neill's so we can assume injury or illness here too.

Either way it forced a rejig with James McClean and Danny Rose coming into the starting lineup, Craig Gardner reverts to his best position of right back.

Sunderland (4-2-3-1): Simon Mignolet; Craig Gardner, John O'Shea, Carlos Cuellar, Danny Rose; Seb Larsson, Jack Colback, James McClean Adam Johnson; Stephane Sessegnon, Steven Fletcher

Substitutes: Keiren Westwood, Connor Wickham, James McFadden, David Vaughan, Titus Bramble, Louis Saha, Matt Kilgallon

David Moyes names an unchanged side from last weeks 2-2 draw away at Fulham, a 4-2-3-1 with newly called England player Leon Osman partnering Phil Neville in midfield. Kevin Mirallas will support the dangerous Nikica Jelavic in attack.

Everton (4-2-3-1): Tim Howard; Seamus Coleman, Phil Jagielka, John Heitinga, Leighton Baines; Phil Neville, Leon Osman; Kevin Mirallas, Marouane Fellaini, Steven Pienaar; Nikica Jelavic
