Everton get Baines boost ahead of Man City clash

Leighton Baines is expected to be back in action for Everton this weekend.

Reports suggest the left-back is set to return to Ronald Koeman's side for Saturday's trip to Premier League leaders Manchester City.

Baines has missed the past two matches for the Toffees with a hamstring injury but has recovered and gives the Goodison Park outfit a timely boost.

The England international, who has appeared five times in the league this term, will replace Bryan Oviedo in Koeman's starting line-up.
