Kevin Mirallas will make only his fifth Premier League start of the season as Everton take on Aston Villa tonight.Otherwise, the Blues are unchanged from the side that saw off Bournemouth 2-0 in the FA Cup last month.Tom Cleverley drops out of the squad altogether through illness while Arouna Kone returns to the matchday set-up after missing the Cup win on the south coast due to illness.
Joel Robles remains in goal, Seamus Coleman continues at right-back, Phil Jagielka and Ramiro Funes Mori are at centre-half and Bryan Oviedo is once again preferred over Leighton Baines at left-back. James McCarthy and Gareth Barry are Everton's two holding midfielders with Aaron Lennon, Ross Barkley and Mirallas in behind Romelu Lukaku, who has five goals in his last four league games against Villa. Mirallas last started a league game against Swansea City at the end of January but last just 28 minutes after picking up a heel injury. EVERTON (4-2-3-1): Robles, Coleman, Jagielka, Funes Mori, Oviedo, McCarthy, Barry, Lennon, Barkley, Mirallas, Lukaku. Subs: Howard, Baines, Stones, Kone, Niasse, Deulofeu, Osman.

Seeing Baines, Stones, and Niasse on the bench are the obvious talking points and Deulofeu too, but where is Pienaar?

It’s last quarter of the first half I like score table , but why let them shoot from the distance? if it’s for hammers they wouldn’t let us away with that.

We are winning but not a very good half of football. I'd like to see us take more control, keep possession, and take full advantage of their situation.
