Everton boss David Moyes is excited by the goal scoring potential of Nikica Jelavic.

Jelavic has started four times in seven appearances following his £5.5million transfer but has already shown he could provide Everton with some much-needed firepower up front.

"I think he has done quite well," said Moyes ahead of their FA Cup quarter-final replay at Sunderland on Tuesday night.

"When he came he had a bit of a problem with his stomach and he has missed a few weeks but he has given us something slightly different and scored a couple of goals.

"If he keeps it ticking over it will be good as (left-back) Leighton Baines is our top goalscorer with four - so it is quite obvious to see where we have been short.

"It can weigh on you (not scoring) and we have had other centre-forwards here who have found it a struggle to score.

"We have to make sure they get the right service, we have to make sure we are creative enough in the final third and then they do get the chances.

"Then when they get the chances the centre-forwards have to make sure they take them.

"Denis Straqualursi came on and should have scored one or maybe two against Swansea and Steven Pienaar had chances so we have got to try to take that on and make sure we take them in the game against Sunderland."
