The Australia midfielder was rested in midweek after his national team duties but is now ready to step back into the side.

Everton boss David Moyes said: "Tim is back and he will be involved in the game. I don't actually think he has played any more games than the lads have done here.

"I saw quite a bit of the tournament and the standard was poor. I don't think it was very near the level of the Premier League."

Phil Jagielka is in contention to start after making his first appearance since recovering from a thigh strain off the bench at Arsenal on Tuesday.

Everton have no fitness concerns with Tony Hibbert available again after illness.

Provisional squad: Howard, Neville, Distin, Jagielka, Heitinga, Baines, Coleman, Cahill, Fellaini, Osman, Rodwell, Arteta, Bilyaletdinov, Saha, Beckford, Anichebe, Gueye, Hibbert, Baxter, Mucha.
