Anthony Gardener makes his long awaited debut tonight for the Blues as the Reserves face Newcastle United up in the North East. Since signing for Everton over a month ago, Anthony has been suffering from ankle injury, and his experience will be much needed tonight as a young looking rezzie side face the Skunks who are one place and one point behind the Blues.

The match also see's the return of Iain Turner in the sticks after his hip injury has kept him out all season.

Everton from: Turner, Densmore, Irving, Dennehy, Gardner, Gosling, Rodwell, Morrison, Harpur, Downes, Agard, Jones, Sinnott, O'Kane, Baxter, Codling.
