Everton v Blackburn - Moyes on player on trial | English Premier League 2012
  • 10 years ago
Everton's Sylvain Distin is unlikely to shrug off a hamstring problem so Shane Duffy is again ready to step in.

Phil Jagielka and Jack Rodwell are both also set to miss out again with injury.

Blackburn striker Yakubu is suspended, so Bordeaux loanee Anthony Modeste may make his debut if his international clearance arrives in time.

Scott Dann could return from injury, but Rovers boss Steve Kean must decide whether to select Chris Samba, who this week submitted a transfer request.

Goals have been a real problem for both teams, with Everton struggling to find the net and Blackburn leaking too many. Rovers have not kept a clean sheet this season while the Blues have scored only 21 league goals, an average of exactly one per game. The Merseysiders will therefore be relieved that Yakubu, Blackburn's top scorer, is suspended following his red card against Fulham.
