  1. Both Steven Pienaar and Joseph Yobo have overcome knocks to return to the Everton starting XI for today's clash with Portsmouth.

     

    They are two of five changes made by David Moyes from the side that trounced Hull in the Carling Cup in midweek.

     

    Pienaar has overcome a foot injury and Yobo a hamstring problem to start at Fratton Park - with Tim Cahill, Louis Saha and Marouane Fellaini also back in the side.

     

    Tony Hibbert, Yakubu, Jo, Diniyar Bilyaletdinov and Dan Gosling are the players to make way as the manager continues to utilise all the fit senior players at his disposal to handle the demands of challenging on three fronts.

     

    Saha will lead the attack with Fellaini expected to provide support as the Blues revert to their more familiar formation after adopting a 4-4-2 system at the KC Stadium.

     

    John Heitinga will switch back to right back to allow captain Yobo to partner Sylvain Distin as the Frenchman returns to his former club. Leon Osman will return to the right flank as Cahill and Jack Rodwell anchor the midfield.

     

    Everton have yet to win on the road this term in the Premier League. Pompey go into the game on the back of six consecutive defeats - the worst ever start by a club to a Premier league season.

  2. 1) With last seasons injury troubles behind you what are your hopes and expectations for this year?

    Well I can hope for a top four finish cant I :P seriously though the improvement of Spurs and Man city means we might slip down the table but I still expect us to finish in the top 7 and another european place (hopefully)

    I would like to go deep into the Europa League and FA cup and hopefully get to Germany or Wembley :P

    2) How do you feel you have done in the transfer window and do you feel you could have brought in more?

    We have done good but not great again it was a long wait for our first signing (apart from Jo) But hopefully Distin Billy and Heintiga all improve the first team

    I beleive they will perform and although im disappointed in not getting bangea i am happy with our signings just i wish they came bloody earlier!

    3) What do you think of your new home kit?

    At first I did not like it at all but It has grown on me a bit but its still crap!

    4) How has the possible take over talk been received, would you like Mr Moyes to have access to the sort of money Mark Huges has or would it make you a ‘plastic club’?

    I would like a takeover by someone who can make the club take the next step... but the question is how much money is too much? I think someone like the Villa owner Lerner? is good as he provides a decent amount of money

    and does not get involved too much, maybe someone like him that can provide 30-40 million a year before sales for a transfer budget would be perfect

    5) How do you think Fulham will do this year?

    I like fulham bt can they finish top 7 again? Im not sure I think they will still have a good season and finish in the Top 10

    6) Predictions for the game?

    Im biased so i pick 0-2 to everton Saha and Pienaar although I wouldn't be surprised if fulham got up good luck for the match mate
