Everton boss Dave Moyes is looking to Phil Jagielka and Joleon Lescott to mature in their defending this season.

"Jags and Joleon are both really good defenders, they are quick, strong and form a good partnership," Moyes told evertonfc.com.

"When you have those qualities at the back, it gives you a great advantage. What they need to do now is mature and that will come with age.

"Both lads are still relatively young to be playing central defence but I hope over the coming few months, you will see that maturity in their play and that would help us tremendously."
