Leon Osman expects Everton improvement

Leon Osman has revealed that he expects Everton to improve their form during the final part of the season.

The Toffees have won two of their last seven matches in the Premier League, leaving them seven points off the Champions League places.

"We have had a bit of a sticky patch for the last month," Osman told the club's official website. "You find it hard to go through a whole season without having one of those.

"Hopefully now we have got a few players back, Kevin Mirallas is in form, so hopefully we can get back up and running."

Everton are in FA Cup quarter-final action on Saturday when they host Wigan Athletic at Goodison Park.
