Sunderland v Everton: match preview

Probable starters in bold, contenders in light.

Once so synonymous with Everton, David Moyes finds himself plotting the potential downfall of the team he managed for more than a decade. He will be assisted on the pitch by fellow Goodison Park old boys Steven Pienaar and Jack Rodwell, while a not yet fully fit Victor Anichebe looks on from the sidelines as Sunderland seek a morale-boosting first league win of the season. It should be particularly interesting to see how Lamine Koné, an £18m Everton transfer target this summer, performs in the home defence. Louise Taylor
