Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard has paid tribute to their England centre-half Phil Jagielka.

Howard says Jagielka's selfless performances are priceless as the Blues look for a second consecutive victory against Bolton on Saturday.

"He's so dependable for his teammates, for me as a goalkeeper and for the fans," Howard told evertontv. "He's always there - willing to stick his nose in where other people won't.

"He's willing to do three and four people's jobs on the field even if that risks making a mistake.

"A lot guys will say, 'I'll do my job and to heck with you, you sort yourselves out', but he's trying to put fires out all over the field at the risk of sometimes putting himself on the line - he's brilliant."
