Everton captain Phil Neville says fit-again James Vaughan is desperate to make up for lost time.

"James Vaughan is raring to go," he said. "He's like a caged tiger at the moment and I think the physios are having to reign him in and hold him back just now.

"It's the same for Leighton Baines. This is a big season for him as well. So we've got players who are hungry, which is good because teams around us last season are going to be after our place.

"We need to perform better and climb an even bigger mountain."
