Everton No2 Steve Round says they're delighted with the early form of new signing Diniyar Bilyaletdinov.

Round is pleased with the way the former Lokomotiv Moscow star has bedded in at Goodison Park.

He said: "We have not really had someone to put in early crosses and his delivery is exceptional. I am sure we will reap the benefits of his contribution.

"We have players who like to attack the ball in the air, not just the strikers but people like Tim Cahill and Marouane Fellaini."

Everton are likely to name a strong side and new arrival Lucas Neill is available after signing a one-year deal.
