Leighton Baines and Steven Pienaar are both passed fit for Everton's home clash with Swansea, who make four changes from their Carling Cup win over Chelsea.

David Moyes is able to name both Leighton Baines and Steven Pienaar on the Everton left side for the visit of Swansea City this afternoon.

England full-back Baines had been a fitness doubt due to an ankle knock he picked up in the FA Cup victory over Cheltenham Town on Monday.

However, he is fit to start at Goodison Park and resume his partnership with Pienaar, who is recalled after a two-game absence.

Victor Anicebe continues on the right flank as Kevin Mirallas has not recovered from his hamstring strain.

For the visitors, there is no place for Danny Graham as Michael Laudrup sticks with the 4-5-1 formation that helped them shock Chelsea in midweek.

There are recalls for Kemy Agustien, Nathan Dyer, Dwight Tiendalli and Michel Vorm as Leon Britton, Wayne Routledge and Jonathan de Guzman drop out.

Everton: Howard, Coleman, Jagielka, Distin, Baines; Anichebe, Neville, Osman, Pienaar; Fellaini; Jelavic

Swansea: Vorm; Rangel, Flores, Williams, Davies; Tiendalli, Ki, Agustien, Dyer, Hernandez; Michu
