Everton vs Sunderland Team Preview

January 27, 2010 | Written by : Jim Haines

Mikel Arteta is in contention for a place in the Everton squad, while new Sunderland signing Matt Kilgallon could start for Steve Bruce’s side.

Injuries to Michael Turner, Phil Bardsley and Anton Ferdinand mean that Kilgallon could be thrown in against Everton, despite both John Mensah and Nyron Nosworthy returning from injury.

Also back after knee and hamstring problems is midfielder Lee Cattermole, who could start in the centre of midfield for Sunderland.

Darren Bent will start upfront, possibly in tandem with Kenwyne Jones, despite rumours linking the latter with a move to Liverpool.

Everton boss David Moyes will weigh up whether to include midfielder Mikel Arteta in the squad. Arteta has spent a year out with cruciate ligament damage but made his first appearance of the season as a sub in Everton’s FA Cup tie.

New loan signing Philippe Senderos will be among the substitutes with Sylvan Distain and Johnny Heitinga preferred at centre back.

Louis Saha will again start upfront on his own for Everton.
