Merseyside derby debut for Everton loan signing Lennon

Everton boss Roberto Martinez has suggested new loan signing Aaron Lennon could be thrown straight into action in Saturday's Merseyside derby clash with Liverpool at Goodison Park. "We need to see where he is physically and his match fitness but he has been involved in 17 games in half of a season which is a good return," said Martinez.

"He is a player that will look forward to these games and, from our point of view, it's the perfect baptism at our club - to go into a Merseyside derby is a really interesting start. It's not going to faze him."
