Winger set for full Toffees bow
Bilyaletdinov: Set for full debut
Everton will give new Russian winger Diniyar Bilyaletdinov his full debut in Thursday's home Europa League Group I clash with AEK Athens.
The 24-year-old has so far managed just a few minutes as a late substitute against Wigan following his £10million move from Locomotiv Moscow, and was left on the bench at Fulham on Sunday.
Everton are without skipper Phil Neville, who is likely to be out for three months with knee ligament damage, while Tony Hibbert is suspended and Dutch utility defender John Heitinga is ineligible.
Everton (from): Howard, Gosling, Rodwell, Yobo, Distin, Baines, Osman, Bilyaletdinov, Cahill, Pienaar, Fellaini, Saha, Jo, Yakubu, Baxter, Nash, Vaughan, Agard, Duffy, Wallace.
