Elano and Vedran Corluka come back from suspension as Manchester City take on Everton at Eastlands.

The pair's return means Sven-Goran Eriksson has close to a full-strength squad, with midfielder Michael Johnson also available after an abdominal injury.

Valeri Bojinov is the only City absentee, and he is close to recovering full fitness after a long spell out with a knee injury.

Joseph Yobo will be restored to the Everton line-up after sitting out Thursday's UEFA Cup game against Brann Bergen.

Mikel Arteta appeared to show no ill-effects from a groin problem after featuring in the Brann fixture.
